I like the enduros for our big outdoor track. I would like to think that it would be considered rough, medium bite clay. It's been so dry around here lately that it's almost impossible to keep any moisture in the track, even if it's flooded the day before a race...
Right now I'm running the hardest compound, since the track is so abbrasive... I might grab some slightly softer ones for the RCPS Canadian Nationals here in September.... it will be cooler out by then (I hope!)

Is anyone wearing out front tires faster then the rears? It seems every time I punch it down the straits my fronts are ballooned and wearing out way too fast. I have considered going to a 3000wt diff fluid in the front but is this going to be the cure?

Speaking of Diff oils, I've been running 10k front and rear ( AE 5k was out of stock and thought 3k might be too light). Do you guys recommend going with 3k in the rear? what are the effects of running lighter wt in the rear?

My best advice to you would to see what the fast guys are running and talk to them or the track owner, my local track owner only sells tires that really hook on his track. It's hard for anyone to say without being there.

Unfortunately, we don't have center diffs.
It sounds like the slipper is slipping on the outer pad but not the inner pad, diff oil won't fix this.
That being said, ThunderbirdJunkie is running 20k in his front diff if he recalls correctly.

I'm running the 19th in the front which I'm sure has something to do with it but if possible want to stay with it, I like how the truck feels with it. I'm running M3 calibers. The slipper is locked down and after every raceday I rough up the pads with sand paper. They look pretty glazed before I sand them though.

Yeah maybe AE will make the FT version with carbon plastic.
