better get some and do it ....
Ions make the buggy drive differently but it's an all purpose tire with a lot of self correcting foreward bite. It has worked on 5 different clay tracks that use barcodes/suburbs/bk-bars.

Now maybe you wont like them, so dont get them.

what are you guys doing to keep screws in chassis/bulkhead etc from coming loose over runtime? A little CA and/or locktite?

If they are coming loose chances are you may have overtightened them and pulled a few threads or had a bad front impact that did. CA might work but I would just replace the bulkhead.

I talked to someone running the new Ions this weekend and he said that they free the car up compared to Suburbs. I would think these are for when barcodes / suburbs are good and bite is very high... basically the proline option for when JC guys switch to pressure points. At least that was the impression I got.

I'll grab a set to keep in the box, but our tracks in the north east dont typically get that high bite like they do out west.

Pro line makes 2wd front Suburbs. They look like rears condensed without the middle pins

They need a little scuff in Bob ..

Traction they bring is way more then the Bar Code on our med high grip surface at TRCR ...


Expecting you to fine more grip with the ION ...


I have not yet tried the Pressure Points cept for SC .
Will do soon ...

yeah I guess. I just know that what works out there usually doesn't work as well here. Not saying it won't work... just what you call medium bite is high bite for us. If you ran on our tracks, you would probably think you had ice skates on

I run on three different tracks Bob .
Trcr has major grip , the others not near as much ..

Watched a teammate use ION on less grip very successfully last week end ...

On med to less traction like yours bet they perform great...
