For Stock and 19T I tend to like the Parma Speed 8 for carpet and the Protoform Speed 12 for asphalt. The Parma is balanced and has good traction and moderate stability. This is good for carpet because you generally already have plenty traction and you need a car that reacts fast. The Speed 12 has more traction and more stability. This is better for asphalt as you want the car to be really planted and stable.

Really fast Mod guys run the Speed 12 on carpet but they setup to get all the grip and steering they can get and drive smooth to make the car fast.
