Default Bumpy low bite tires

Newb getting back in to the sport after a long break. I just built my new Losi 22 and am trying to decide what tires to put on it. From what I understand the track that I will be racing at is fairly bumpy and somewhat slick. It is an outdoor track, and I'm not sure what type of dirt it is. Just curious what tires I should look at getting. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Perhaps in a green or M3 (soft) compound. They'll wear faster then a harder compound tire but they'll grip better particularly if it's a dry track situation.

Just got a set of green dot calibers for SC10. On outdoor track, they perform awesome!

any soft compound pin tire should work well. Green double D's, m3 holeshots, or pink hot bodies gigabytes or megabytes. Proline closed cell would probably be better than the jconcept closed cell on a bumpy track since the proline is a bit softer. You may even want to stick with the stock foam.

Fronts are a matter of preference but a soft ribbed tire is probably a solid choice as a starting point.
