Guys I'm curious, 10 years ago we used to only run Ribs for front tires. Now we run different types. I run on clay tracks mostly, what does a rib front tire do that a barcode or suburb does not. Under what type of circumstances do you use ribs now a days?

On a loamy track, which I rarely run on but when I do the JConcepts "Groovy" is the tire I go to.

I've been running ribs (everyone else does) on my outdoor track and have only just started changing over to 2wd holeshots. Ribs give more steering, but if your track gets rutted (some clowns think it's a good idea to ride bikes on a muddy track) they can occasionally release/grab traction leading to them feeling somewhat inconsistent and in my case, leading to rollovers from when they grab traction.
I've found that smaller and less edged ribs (such as jconcepts rips or those aka 3rib) are a bit smoother in terms of corner steering than regular ribs (groovy, losi wide ribs, etc) but have less initial turn in.
On my track, suburbs/scrubs/vektors/barcodes don't give very much steering. Too dusty. I've found that pl 2wd holeshots and AKA Rebars (not sure why rebars are working) give almost as much steering as regular ribs, but without the release/grab over rough corners and they roll better over rough surfaces.
If your track is run damp and soft (ie, something the rib can bite into), I'd probably still run ribs depending on how smooth it is. My choice right now are m3 or m4 holeshots both wet and dry.

At the last IFMAR 1/10, the guys were running rips or groovy. This is off-road we're talking about!

Barcode "type" tires seem to offer more surface area to grip smooth tracks like indoor clay etc. The small bars act like siping on real truck tires and provide more pliable grip. Those characteristics might be lost on dusty, loamy tracks that a sharp ribbed tire can cut through easier.
