But I can't help wonder why you use sauce on foam tires anyway. Isn't the sauce suppose to wear down the rubber; in TC for example; thus exposing new rubber? If that is true then since the foam simply sucks the additive in like a sponge why do we add tire sauce to foam? The traction cpd isn't really glue after all.

I have either used sticky fingers or corally sxt.

Shouldn't I just use a softer compound tire? We run in a old curling rink (concrete floor) and thus I assume the track takes longer to heat up.
