How about a tyre that is a bit longer lasting? If we're serious about saving money.. Supply was a problem at the state titles only because the tyres were pretty much ruined after 1 run.

edit: before anyone asks, yes that means bow ties
Yep that was my point about truck not have hole shot 2.0s. The truck hole shots are good tyres but don't last long enough. I'd be up for bow tyres.


I used 1 new set per car for a full day's practice, and then 2 sets for each car for the actual racing. The used sets from racing I re-used at the next club day. I know wear is higher in Mod, but ruined after 1 run is a bit of an exaggeration.

I agree with your point though. If you can find a tyre with good traction that is a little longer lasting, that's the better option.
Tyre wear at the states was high but then we all wanted good tyres on the car at all times being a big event. I think the hole shot 2s are the ticket for buggy
