what compounds are offered other than blues?
We ran blues at the Xray & Big Dad's Asphalt challenge, the track was sugar water and VHT prepped so traction was high, the tires gave as good traction as any other tire (good looks to boot), but the wear was terrible.
After one 5 minute run the tires had the wear on them I would see after 4-6 runs with RP's or Sorex's.
Dont get me wrong, these tires are a new standard, but harder compounds need to be offered for outdoor racing, whether it is a VHT prepped track or a parking lot race course, the blues just dont hold up well, even on 75 degree days.
and Im not the only one experiencing this, except for 2 or 3 people running the tires at the Asphalt challenge, the wear was very similar to what I experienced.
I even asked Paul Lemieux if my setup would give bad tire wear and he said no, so when I showed him my tires even he was surprised.
