I do know they last longer and thats good enough for me!
a lot of time someones experience means more than any chart. and personal experience is key anyway!. I wasn't referring to purpose or anything like that. I was also just stating what I felt from track to track.
I wasn't too familiar with the X compound tires but love the Proline stuff. I went to a race in SC at the pit. TONS of fast pro drivers there and a different format where every race was a main (Reedy style) rather than quals. I had no experience on that type of dirt or heat for that matter. ProLine driver Brandon Melton told me m3 blockades for 1st round then X4 for next 2 rounds then back to m3 for last round when moisture comes up. My car was awesome enough to take the win and stayed consistant the entire day. I have pretty much stayed on that theory since and it has worked. I also got to test some back to back stuff and the I personally didn't feel the X compound was as good in the wet tracks as the m4 or m3.
