Very big. Tires are the most important part of a setup.

AKA crossbones are a great SC clay tire! So is the Panther Switch 2.0. Actually you can't go wrong with any tire on that list.

AKA Wishbones are great tires at West Coast for the SC trucks....JC Barcodes and Proline Suburbs are also really good. They stock them all and you can ask the guys that run the place what they like or what the racers are using more of there.
