Its not that any of them are proven to be faster its more that the difference is not worth talking about but the Tekin has the most problems. If you want to go by performance then here in Oz the BD has destroyed everything and tekin is lucky to make an A final.

i have no problem with tekin in 12th infact it is fast and has massive runtime and troy stop the speedy dick measuring competition .all speedys are good now
bd is good ,lrp ver2 is good, tekin is good, hobbywing is good,novak kinetic 1s is good.
i think 12th comes down to driving. you could probably whip everyone with a 10.5 in ya car and a bar of soap for a speed controller.

My Irish Spring w/ v.222 suds-ware is faster. Pour a little bottled water on it, rub it a little and LOOK OUT!!

Only problem is I only get 2-3 race weekends and it's down to a little sliver that will never go away, but doesn't perform (suds up) as well so I have to break out a fresh bar.

I've had good luck with the CRC greylow, They don't chunk as easily as yellow. Is the Parma orange the equivalent (the shores match)? Does Jaco make an equivalent that is not on their website? Didn't Jaco come out with some new compounds a while back?

You can also try BSR Gray-Whites. They are on the same wheel as CRC

Jaco Orange is the same as Parma, Parma tires are made by Jaco, the wheel color is the only difference.
