Sine purple stripes work fine on CRC carpet, I don't see the issue. Those seem to have a decent life.
decent is an understatement. 3-4 days on a set of tires is very good in modern racing. Instead of placing the blame on the tires, I say we start making club owned tire truers more common. $500 spread across 10-20 1/12 racers is not too bad.
