Continuing on the front tire discussion. Ive noticed there are a few differents combinations that are popular for each different class of 12th. Obviously there are plenty of setups that differ from the below... But this is what I have been noticing the fast guys using at bigger races. If I am missing something, or have something wrong, please point it out.

Blinky 17.5, I see people using:
1) Black/Yellow
2) Black/Orange(Grey-Low)
3) Magenta/Yellow
4) Magenta/Pink

13.5 Open:
1) Magenta/Yellow
2) Magenta/Pink
3) Magenta/Magenta

Mod:
1) Magenta/Pink
2) Magenta/Magenta


What is the reason for this hierarchy? More to the point, what is the reason for the Black/Yellow or Black/Orange combo being so popular in Stock/17.5, but not really used in the other classes?

Im guessing that as the motors get faster, the potential for higher corner speed increases... thus you want a car with more steering to maintain that corner speed? Is this correct?

If that is the case, are there situations where you would want to use a Magenta/Magenta combo in, say, 17.5 Blinky?
