P1's are have much smaller shorter pins than Gridirons. Gridirons are more comparable to Holeshots.

So a grid iron should last longer and can bite better through dust?

I would say yes. For our conditions here when it hardens up and you get a light layer of dust they work well like the holeshots.

Just ordered my first set of aka tires. Picked up the enduro 3 super soft premounts. I have been running the stock tires on my losi db pro. They grip pretty well for rtr tires but was looking for a tire to give me more control on our local backyard outdoor track. It's very hard underneath that dusty top

Enduros should work well for ya. Only other tire Id think would work better if its dusty would be Gridiron. Compound depends of temperature and specific conditions too.

I ran on a track like that a while ago super low grip and Iron Grid 2 worked the best for me in super soft.

City Blocks are awesome tires. They always work when noting else does. Great on truggy or buggy.

Has anyone tried the zippdown combo yet? Zipps in the front and double down in the rear. I don't have a pair of Zipps to try it, so I'm wondering what the effect is.
Is the steering calmer with zipps in the front?

I have recently been running the zip/down combo on my buggy.
I can only compare it to all double downs . The zipdown combo does indeed smooth out the steering on the car.
I have yet to run all zipps. I will try them on the same track conditions this weekend.

How much more durable is the "soft long wear" compared to the "soft" compound? Are there any drawbacks to the "long wear" compound?

I'd say they last 2X as long in my case. The soft long wear have a little less grip when new, but do not fall off as hard or as fast as soft compound.

what is up with AKA's website inventory? I have been watching their website stock level's for a while now and it has not changed at all. It seems they are only interested in fulfilling dealer's order rather than keeping some for their website.
