Bad, BAD, HORRIBLE choice for a new driver. He'll be out in the fluff a lot, this tire won't help him... and they wear out very rapidly due to the small pins. New drivers should stay away from any "small pin" tires. They have NO bite in the "fluffy" parts of the track, and a new driver will NOT be staying in the groove.
I was just saying what would be a pin tire, not that he should use it, someone suggested pin tires but did not mention the tire specifically, so that's all I did.
and the point here is what tire will work, the guy said the track is hard so my guess is that hole shots will work better in this situation, but then again, that's just my opinion.
