Default What tires for a really loamy track?

Talking truggy.... My guess is either Bow-Ties or I-Beams both in medium compounds. What tread am i missing? A track I frequent changed their layout and i was thinking of getting paddles. LOL

I find that my Crime Fighters LOVE a loose and loamy track.

I use 40 series Crime's on my MT when @ the track and it absolutely rips, I would assume truggy would be similar to MT.

I raced at a track a few weeks back that had up to 2" of loam in some spots. The ibeams worked well but I ended up with calibers on if you can believe it. The ibeams IMO strech out way to much on the truggy. This to me makes the truck feel very unstable.

A track is described as loamy if it has a chunky heavy loose surface. Not dusty but more like sandy dirt i guess.

M2 crimeys (or badlands) are my picks in truggy.
