I was running M-grip 60D's in the front, double stuffed, and the same in the rear, but only with a medium foam. I tried some S-Grips all round for the last run... way too much steering, so need to limit the rear droop more I think.
And yes, all my tyres are glued to the rims.

Here is what I have in the way of rubber.
2 - Tamiya 60D M grip
2 - Tamiya 60D S grip
4 - HPI M grips
4 - HPI Medium Inserts
4 - HPI Firm Inserts
4 - Tamiya 60D foam inserts
4 - HPI Foam inserts
What do you think a good setup to start with on asphalt would be?

I bought 2 diffrent sets of rims. The ABC rims and the Kawada Mesh. Before I glue the rubber to the rims I would like to get this right. That way I can runs similar rims.

At a guess, I would still say double stufffing the fronts would be a good idea, and the S Grips would probably supply the most grip/highest wear for outdoors.

Tire Availability
I have not been able to find any tires in the US in stock, had to go to rctech in HK and place an order. Didn't have everything I wanted but some is better than nothing at all.
Sure wish someone would replenish stock soon or a lot of tracks are going to look like a "Cops" episode after we all ran over the spike strips. Rubber flying every where.
