Thank you guys, this is exactly the kind of info I was looking for. I don't have a huge budget so I want to make a wise purchase for the track I run at most. I already have some soft komodo 2's and what I think are probably xtr compound crimefighters. I bought them second hand in like new condition and after several runs they still look brand new but they are very hard.
I am thinking about getting a set of panther raptor's. The description for these tires says they work best on dry dusty hard packed surfaces. Has any one run these?
Keep the suggestions rolling and thanks for the help.
