Some say to run a medium tire on the harder dry tracks, I thought the softer tire would grip better on the dry hard tracks, but if the track is dusty outside track I guess the medium would work better.
You need to change tread pattern when the track is run dry / blue groove as well as the compound of the tire... IE a Short pin tire with a harder compound. It is just hard (expensive) trying to keep up with all the different tires one needs..
