Groovy is my tire of choice and gives the most steering, Rips are for when you need a little less steering. I have yet to use Rounders. For the foams in blue Barcodes, AKA or Proline closed cells work great, the JC closed cells are a little too firm. I prefer the V2's on the track.

response on tires
I purchased a set of Goose Bumps a couple weeks back and went to the track to do some testing yesterday. Ran my usually setup and tires to get a base line to work from, put on the Goose bumps and back out to get results on handling. After the first battery made a shock adjustment but didn't notice any problems with the tires (didn't expect any so I admitt I didn't do an inspection). Second battery in and now making full throttle runs and working on faster laps. About half way through the battery I come down the front straight and hear this awful noise coming from my truck. Some one yells "you're blowing the tire off the rim". Upon inspection the photo shows what I found on one of the tires. A second tire had came loose from the rim and upon inspection I found it had glue in only 1 spot about 1/4" long on the outside, inside seemed to be glued around the entire rim. I don't understand how this got through quality, nor do I understand why the tire's rubber appears to be breaking apart. Can someone please explain this to me? Is this what I can expect when I buy these tires?

Just be careful with their serrated nuts. I've ruined two rims messing around with them. They keep backing off and letting the rims spin. Had to cut a new set of Calibers and now may have to cut a set of flip outs, my favorite tires BTW.
Be sure to use loc tite even though it's supposed to be a lock nut. LOL

Rounders = Max steering on smooth/clean surfaces (grooved). Has to much steering 99% of the time and I don't even carry a set to the track.
Rips = Best overall feel of steering balance on most conditions.
Groovy's = Aggressive steering on most conditions.
Most tracks we still run the stock foam in Blue/Green Bar Codes. The JC "closed-cell" inserts are updated to a softer material and we do run those on smooth/grooved surfaces.
I feel the V2 has slightly more cornerspeed, but not quite as safe feeling to drive.

The latest batch of wheel nuts have been updated . I actually have to use a T-handle now to get them off.
Well, that sucks for me....2 wheel sets later...lol.
