Where can we find more information on the new Green(e), Blu(e), DBL Blu(e), Red and Orange compounds? I've checked the BSR, CRC and Pro One websites and nothing. Do we need to know someone, who knows someone, who can give us this info? :weird:

Mostly the basics:
When how do they stack up to the other tire families? Are they similar to the Yellow, Grey and Blacks or are they more like the Pink, Magenta, Purple tires?

After that:

Under what conditions do they work best? What are their handling characteristics? When would you want to run a Yellow vs. Pink vs. Green(e)?

Now I'm getting greedy. :D:sneaky:

Green is somewhere between a Yellow and a Pink, Blue is a similar compound but harder, like a Magenta/Yellow. I found an excerpt that Red is an extremely hard compound, like 55 shore, and I would presume Orange is like the old Orange that you could get in touring car tires, like 45 shore natural rubber.

Personally, I found that the CRC Blue's work great for a rear tire.

I wish I could find a set of Red's to try on the front of my car.

Durometer ratings don't matter like Steve said. Just know this....

Blue front is softer than dbl blue front
Orange is softer than red rear

Simple break down results may vary......
Green makes your car turn more than blue rear
Dbl blue front turns less than blue front
Orange turns more than red and both of these are best for asphalt. Orange may work on carpet but it's an odd occurrence.

Popular class compound break down...
17.5 green or blue rear with blk, blue, or dbl blue ft
13.5 green or blue rear with blue, magenta/pink, or dbl blue ft
mod green or blue rear with blue, pink/magenta ft




Don't try to compare different groups of foam to one another, it only creates confusion. There are three groups of foam white, pink, and now blue. Leave it simple.

Orange has nothing to do with tc foam.

If you want to try red on the front of your car run Dbl blue. You will not find red fronts.

Thanks for the info Monti. That is the type info I was looking for.

So where does Team Purple fit into the mix?

Team Purple is a good tire. It matches well with Blue rears in Super Stock and even Mod.

I'll risk a public correction and say that Team Purple is actually in the Pink family and is a Lilac-ish 37 or 38 shore compound. Harder than Magenta.
