I tried searching this thread and was surprised there wasn't an answer for this. In 17.5/13.5 1s lipo on carpet the front tire to use are Jaco Black/Purple (or equivalents) because they are more 'consistent' throughout a run. Why is that? Why do you lose steering with 2x Pink or softern compounds less than half way through a run? Someone explained it is because there isn't enough heat generated in the tires in the stock classes so the harder compounds change less than the softer ones. Is there another reason?
