Philosophical conundrum:
Did I have good karma, because I bought a new part right before the old one broke?
Or did I have bad karma, because the old part broke right after buying the new one?
Actual question:
My local track's drivers pretty much swear by JConcepts Double Dees on the rear. Only problem is, because these only come in super soft green, they die ridiculously quickly. The track is gritty, sometimes dusty hard-pack dirt/clay. Usually it's dry, almost never "muddy". My LHS sells the premounted DDs for $24 a pair, which is a great price, but not if they only last a couple long practice days.
Can anybody suggest a viable alternative that comes in a harder compound? Obviously I'm going to lose grip here, but for the sake of my wallet, it's a trade-off I'm heavily contemplating. Help is much appreciated! Bonus points if the cost is comparable.
Try the Proline Square Fuzzie M3. Andy, Brad, Austin, and a few other guys have been bugging me to get them some but since they are a new release I only have my personal sets. They hook up awesome at Glitch. As soon as they start hitting the shelves locally I foresee them being the new set to swear by at Glitch. When Josh runs the track dry your gonna want a Suburb style of tire in M3 compound. I run the Square Fuzzie M4 at Glitch when its wet, clean with simple green after the race and I get a lot of use out of them. Wheel spin is what kills tires. What motor are you using? I think I remember you mentioning a Castle 5700kv. Thats a tire killer.
