Donuts are in such short supply because almost no one mounts their own tires any longer. The price of mounted tires is about the same as if you mount your own.
I've tried CRC procut white and Jaco prism pink rears. The Jaco's were good until they wore down a millimetre or two and then didn't work as well. I've always used Paragon Traction Action. I've ordered some fat speedmind 30 shore tyres now and will check out the links you guys have supplied. I think the main problem may have been the motor I've been using has been too much for the grip available. Rather than 4.5t with 4 cell, 8.5t might be a better bet..
