Thanks and God Bless
My local track where I run is hard-packed dirt with a layer dust on top of it and some light loose dirt.
These are the tires I use:
Rear:
Losi Bigshot (soft compound, red)
Proline Bowtie M3
Jconcepts Goosebumps
I also tested some Jconcepts barcodes blue but haven't raced them yet.
And AKA Impact soft.
Front:
mostly Proline 8715 M3 on a narrow rim.
Jconcepts Ribs blue/green
Jconcepts barcodes blue
That's about it I think.
Goosebumps will always perform great but the tire wear isn't that good..
Hopes this helps some sort
Here is a video of my track, you might be able to use it as a refferance (it was pretty loose dirt, used Jconcepts goosebumps green and ribs blue)
