If it's heavy loose dirt I would slap on the the Goosebumps, for more mid to lightly dusted track then the Enduros, Double D's, Subcultures. When I go to Rev I overall I like the Bumps but if the track get a good groove a small pin would be the tire.

I ran subcultures for the first time last weekend and they are my new favorite all around outdoor tire on the rear of my Ultima SC. I have tried most of the others out there.

Enduros are my second favorite on the rear and pretty much what I run on the front exclusively.

So subcultures on the rear and enduro's on the front. What compound green subcultures and soft enduro's?

+1 on the Hot Bodies Mega Grids. Also, Panther Boa's are very good. Both of these tires had my mod BLITZ ripping wheelies down the backstretch on a loose and somewhat loamy track.

what I have seen is that where the calibers and goosebumps both hook up, if you want more steering, the gooses in the rear (using good foams, not the stock stuff) work well.

Ansel,

I used the Boa's up front at times and I also used the Hot Bodies Mega Bites. The Boa's worked really well up front on the loam and the Mega Bites worked really well on the same track when it had been swept and lighty watered. The track wasn't swept every qualifier so the conditions were different just about each time out. Not to mention that the 1/8 scales mulched the surface pretty good. The stock BLITZ tires work pretty well up front on most surfaces I've raced on. The Boa's kinda remind me of a Bowtie but with more lug spacing and the lugs are much firmer.
