Pretty much the worst case scenario lol
Outdoor sunny high of 90+
Normally outdoor with light fluff or dust on top.
First choice and probably the safest choice. Proline Holeshot M3 rear and X2 Scrubs up front would be my choice on a sunny day. Maybe X2 rears as well depending on grip.
If the track is rutted, then Blockades M3 in the rear. I normally don't run barcode type tires outdoors, its more of an on-off tire unless its sugared and very high grip.
Other alternatives would be JC 3Ds which is a combination of a barcode and mini pin in green or blues. This works well when the track is grooved up and will probably be more consistent than your regular barcodes especially when the track starts to dry. Its the in between tire of a barcode and holeshot. I hardly ever will use a full barcode type tire outdoors unless its sugared to hell and very grippy. Cause its either an on-off tire. It's different indoors.
You can also try AKA Impact Med or Softs depending on the temp. Impacts give you more rear grip than the holeshots, but I find the holeshots a bit more aggressive if you need battle it out. Impacts are too planted.
For night time. M4 or Supersoft. Holeshots M4 or impacts SS. If they water at night，then I would bring out the 3Ds in black or green.
