If you run 1/12th on carpet you run should Purple fronts and Gray Rears or Double Pink Jaco Wraps/TRC Wraps/CRC Pro Cuts front and rear. These are normal tires and work best 99.99% of the time.
Hey Adrian,

What do you think about Jaco Greens all the way around for a very small tight track. I currently run the CRC pro cuts and I'm good going into the corner but the back end gets crazy loose coming out. When I first got into 1/12 the L3 I was driving came with Greens all the way around and the car seemed good but that was some time a ago and I may have not known good handling from poor. Amazing how age kills the memory cells.
