Default what a diffrence

i was using my warnout mini pin tires as street tires untill today. i got a set of foam tires and what a diffrence it is. my t4 seams faster, but it spins out easier.

since i have no off road tires, what are some good offroad tires for around the house? i was looking at proline trac a gator, the ones with huge pins. also, when i go to my local track, i would like to get a set that will last a LONG time. i was looking at the glatiors for that. are those any good. if your wondering it is an indoor track.

The gators suck, for bashing around the house, get something like dirtworks. also you might want to consider something like step pins for the track.
foams will make a huge difference because they are much lighter which means less rotating mass which means quicker acceleration.
