Default Surprise,surprise - someone asking about tires

I've recently been racing on an extremely low grip surface (not sure what it is - some sort of coated/textured asphalt "stuff").

I've managed to get the car (Tamiya RM01 with most hopups but original chassis) to perform passingly well on a combination of original Tamiya rears and HBR Fronts (other fronts also work with similar performance - Shepard/Enniti Hard, Jaco Purple). However, I want to calm the front down even more to give me a wider setup window. Due to the multi-use nature of the facility where I race, "wet" tire treatments are not permitted.

Try as I might I simply can't get my head around what tire might give me a generally lower front grip, if such a thing exists, given that I am starting from a fairly wide spread tire combo in the first place - any suggestions?

BSR/CRC/Jaco Black front tires will calm the front end down. You could also try gluing the outer sidewall of your current tires with CA. Maybe try a different rear tire too, like a BSR/CRC/Jaco Pink or Magenta.

Really weird and extreme idea but you could try it with the tires you already have. Cut the width of the front tire down on your truer. I saw a guy cut about half of the inside of his front tires away once. It worked for him.

The 10th scale progressive springs are the same size that CRC uses for side springs.
