Same conditions, Whips, I use mainly silver compound. They were super good.

was at this race. Got someone i know to lend me a set of carbides to try out on buggy. I liked how they felt a lot. They were pretty consistent on the track whether you were in the line or out for whatever reason lol. When it go to guys running tires like positrons it still looked like the carbides were a great tire to use.

Definitely had me giving sweep another look and prices are good as well.

I silver 90% of the time. In the winter Ill run yellow. But winter is like 40 degrees indoors. If its over 90 degrees, Ill run blue, if the track is high bite.

i would be careful with sweep premounts. ordered 2 sets of whips one set was glued very poorly the beads were hanging halfway of the rim and one tire wasnt glued all the way on one set. the other set looked ok. i contacted them and they gave me a coupon code to take care of it. i was fine with that. traveled 8 hours round trip ran the other set in my a main they didn't last 10 minutes before coming unglued it was bad enough that i had to retire. contacted them a week ago about it and no reply.

First of all our apology for the incidents, but the reply was made on last Thursday, some of the new tires we have had aligned issue, we solved that few weeks ago. should be no problem. again our apology for the incidents. we will try our best.

I'd recommend Whips in Yellow compound and if the track developes a groove with the fluff getting pushed more towards the outsides Pixels in Yellow compound would be something to try.

For the MNRC Moto Dome race Micro Contacts in Yellow compound are always my go to tire in nitro buggy. I also ran Carbides in practice and one of the qualifying rounds, both tires are what I'd recommend for that track.
