Tires
Is there any word if the top three tire manufacturers (Pro-Line, Jconcepts, and AKA) are going to start making more tires for ST? I put on a new set of M3 Holeshots yesterday for the race, and after my second qualifier they were toast. Now our track did have an insane amount of traction yesterday; however, without more compound options it's going to be an expensive summer

Hi,
I'm getting my truck this coming week and I have a few questions.
I'm ordering the hard arms front and rear. A Futaba S9452 Digital High-Speed/Torque Servo. A 3 gear tranny. JConcepts T5M Precut Chassis Protective Sheet Black
Any suggestions on tires for clay, wheels?
I'm planning on 17.5, the track is indoor 80 x 50. Gearing? Too old to 7.5 turn
Any and all suggestions accept.
Thanks.
I have run dirt in 20 years.

Double dee: green and black I believe
Flipouts:green
Goosebumps: green
3D's: green, black
Barcodes:black, green, blue, orange, gold
Pressure points: black, green, blue, gold
Dirt webs: green, blue, gold
Carver: blue
A few tread patterns don't need every compound, their tread designs kinda dictate compounds. You won't ever need flipouts or goosebumps in anything but green and typically the abrasive tracks you're able to use barcodes and if it's rly smooth dirt webs or PP's

I've run holeshots on numerous race and practice days in M3 on sugared tracks and not had that extreme of wear.
But realistically if younhave that much grip out doors you are better off with a blue or red compound from JC or a x2 from proline. Track isn't going to be loamy for a holeshot tire. A barcode/dirtweb or suburb would be better bets.
