J compound says: "This matches asphalt to all carpet and in the condition of an especially high grip." So is this a tire along the Pink/Double Pink/Purple line?
Just asking before I order tires for the IIC.
Thanks

+1
J (Japan Foam) are Pink, Mag, Purple, Lilac type of stuff
Also the Y-Compound is even more of a synthetic than the X-Compound
