Default Tires

Anybody else notice tires of like brand and compound dont work the same between different types of vehicles? I notice my SC Gold Barcodes work well for my local track but Gold Barcodes on my buggy dont work at all at the same track. Weird huh? Maybe it has something to do with the sidewall size or something. IDK.

Yeah, contact patch, weight, and tire dimensions all play a role in what traction you get. Going to a different vehicle will usually change all three, so traction changes too.

Yup what Panda said .

Like for instance a 4wd SC that is a heavyer one will have more traction than a lighter one ive noticed .

Thats why you see with diffrent 10th scale there is complety diffrent tires.
