Cain, I loved different tires from front to rear. Different compounds might help, but I dont think it would help me a ton. I dont need tenths, I need consistency and about 3 seconds. I got exactly what I wanted on my track with snipers in the rear and kit tires up front. The truck was easy to drive and went where ever I wanted. For me the truck has wayyyy to much steering on my home track. And this was night and day. It went from undrivable to easy to drive.
