+1 on previous posts, depends the track conditions and your driving style.

Agree 100%. I run at a track where I can control the amount it is watered before every session and a slightly damp track with a harder tire will last damn near forever. That same track dry and a softer tire...they will get absolutely destroyed it in a matter of minutes.

I am still trying to get a good reference for a lot of the different compounds and what they really mean. Obviously, the tread pattern is important for the type of surface you are running on, but I used to think a softer tire always meant the tire had more grip, but that's not necessarily the case. You can have harder tires with more grip if the compound is right. So it is not always clear what to run and can be an expensive endeavor.

On my track I run hot bodies block blue tires. The hardest they make, but even still it has plenty of grip. Your mileage may vary, but that is what a lot of us are using here with great success.

Saw this post, which if fairly old now. With all the new tires out there what are people experiencing now with tire wear on 1/8th scale electric buggys?

I've had pretty good luck with wear on clay surface thats high traction. and some racing on a red clay surface that somewhat dusty. I feel like with the newer tires life has almost doubled
