When ranking Rips, Groovy and Rounder, which have the most / least stearing and durability?
Thanks
Between the 3:
-Rips give very smooth steering throughout the turn and 99% of the time are the best rib tire.
-Groovy normally feel more aggressive than Rips, but less consistent.
-Rounders normally have just to much steering and make the car to hard to drive.
I would recommend trying the Rips in Green with a rear foam cut.
P-DUB: what compound would you recommend for really cool weather! I will be attending a race here in Northen California on a track that's outside but covered track! It's clay slick hard packed! Gold bar codes work good but would blue or green perform alittle better because of the cold? Temps probably will be in the 35 to 50 degree range track kept wet! Thanks for any help!!!
elex300 answered this perfectly. Try treating your golds with WD40 if you need them a little softer.
