Thank you
Sorry it took me a little bit to respond. Was away from a computer yesterday when Adam told me to check this thread.
For mod 1/12th, blue rears have too much bite on the new carpet, so the car will do the 'huck a buck' (TM Drew Ellis). As such, you need to go to a softer rear to take away grip and smooth the car out. Good combos for mod on the new carpet are:
F/R
JFT A30/A30 (Pink/Pink)
JFT A32/A30 (Magenta/Pink)
JFT A30/C30 (Pink/Green)
JFT A32/C30 (Magenta/Green)
The JFT S tires (X in Gravity) are good, too - although harder to drive in mod.
We don't sell these tires at 5280, but if you are planning on visiting, I can hook you up with some Gravity tires for the duration you are here - just PM me and let me know what combos ahead of time, as well as the timeframe for your visit. I have a pretty good selection available, but the advance notice would be good.
