Tires kind of depend on your set up. I personally for truggy have used soft calibers, impacts, and cityblocks. I have seen bowties, crimefighters, and revolvers in super soft to medium. Same thing with buggy.

The general consensus is soft to medium compound medium size pin tires.

The track was getting dialed in yesterday. Nice fun layout to run on. As ALWAYS Tim and his crew make the best of it. GREAT group of people. Just like to thank Tim and his wife &James the Clark Rc Park soon crew for letting us come and play on such a GREAT track. All of your HARD work doesn't go unnoticed. THANK YOU!

Long day--short report.
I drove like a donkey today. period.
The good news?
Tim provided the ice cream as promised! (a man of integrity)
Great track, great folks, good times.
Thanks to Scott (without whose help I wouldn't have gotten to race the main) and everyone else that lent a hand today because of my back trouble.
I need to get down there one more time this season.
Thanks again Tim.

Thanks for putting on a great race. Was nice getting done and out by 11. Thanks for the alpha 23 I'm sure it'll be rocking by the time Midwest comes to town.
