Default Racing Tires!?

I race mostly on tracks that when watered down are almost hard but once it starts o dry it loosens up quite a bit... Sorry for that explaination LOL. What would be a good tire that will get traction through the whole race? Thanks!

Is your track clay and when it dreis it becomes almost powdery? or is it regular dirt that becomes sandy?

I just ordered a set of Panther Tegu tires. I run on a track similar to yours. you can check them out at www.panther-rc.com They seem are a half and half tire. One half is like a crime fighter the other half like a mini pin, with the half moon type shape in the middle.

I figured I would give them a try I have heard no reviews of them, so I will be the guinee pig

try a set of the hobao (ofna) directional spikes they are a very popular choice over here in the U.K, and they work well on just about any track.
