Thanks,

Wow, what do you want, free shipping too! Definitely not for just ordering one or two sets.

Another way to idenitfy the tire compounds

Pink dot- clay
These will smell more like a real rubber tire.

White dot- super soft
These when squeezed up like a ball of tape will take longer to go back in shape. Also if you chew on them they will remind you of chewing on a balloon ( I don't recommend doing this after you ran them on a track,LOL)

Red dot - soft
These will have a skunk y smell to them when new

Silver dot- medium soft
These will take their shape back faster then you can open your hand.

Pink bobcat fronts, either Switch 2.0 in pink or Ratler in Pink. I'd start with the Switch 2.0 first.

Also drop your ride height a few millimeters if you can. 26mm makes my truck want to tip over but 24 keeps it planted.

4 mounted buggy tires: Switch 2.0 in soft. $11.80 for shipping because it said USPS was unavailable for my area code. We get USPS stuff all the time so I'm not sure what the issue was with that but after 12 bucks shipping added to 31 for the tires (REALLY GOOD PRICE) I can go to my LHS and pick some up for just a few bucks more. I always buy local unless it's a really good deal, which this was until the shipping. No big deal, I probably shouldn't have even posted.

Cameron, what are you running at PRCR I plan to drop in for a couple races before outdoor season starts back up but dont want to spend a lot on indoor tires since I will get maybe 3 races on them
