ahh you americans must have different grass
All those sort of tyres rely on friction between the tread and the blades of grass (green bit) which is actually not that high. Too slippy. Unless the track gets mega blown out and with so much sand that you then go to Badlands or Knuckles maybe. Never really gets to that stage as 2 weeks later it has grown back or you just move the track
Ideal grass tyres have long pins for penetration. Like those that all the 1/10 electrics came with in the 1980's.
In no particular order,
Schumacher Spiral (only one with 2 compounds I believe)
Ho Bao / Hong Nor Angle Spike
Medial Pro Turbo Rats (Hard to find here anyway)
Oh and a Panther tyre that is almost impossible to find. Cant recall the model name.
Then again, I guess there is no need for the Big 2 companies to bring out grass tyres, as we get traction rolls with the above-mentioned ones, so a "better" tyre would not necessarily be better?
Just be nice to have more choice
and seriously if Proline brought out a grass tyre everyone would buy it as they know the name

Lately, I've been looking at tracks and I am liking European style tracks. I know American tracks are more motocross, even including starting gates but I like how European tracks have fast sweepers, hard packed dirt and multiple surfaces like cobble stone and wood. I wish there would be more tracks like that in America. I am getting back into the hobby and will begin racing soon. Maybe I could push for a track redesign somewhere in Houston.

Nice driving man! And I do like the layout, it has nice flow. I hope to get to the point of driving like that soon!

Last time I raced was in like 2004 and it was my first and only race. But I plan on making it out to some of the tracks. Are the tracks usually kept up pretty good?
