While rubber (hard) tire racing differs from the typical foams, for which tc's (traction compunds) were originally designed, anything anyone is using that they think "works better for them" ~ since anything that's used is really being used as a rubber conditioner ~ are IMO searching for the golden fleece but seemingly satisfying themselves via the placebo effect.
If it makes ya happy, rock on ~ but don't come crying later when that pain returns. 
Heck, I'm waiting for the first guy that says, "dog-doo works for me!"
