Default Short Coarse Truck Tires

Which tires does everyone prefer and why. I need to make a change and both sets seem to have ups and downs.

Goosebumps were the hot tamale a couple months ago.

Thanks people that have done the poll. I would really like to hear more about both of these tires from anyone that owns them. I need to get a few sets so I don't want to drop $60 just to find out I went the wrong way. The track I'll be running on is hard clay, it is usually very dry with a lot of dust sitting on it.

Also I have heard some people recommend the 1 degree toe in rear carriers for the SC10, any thoughts on that, or particular brand. The only ones I have seen are machined aluminum, does AE actually make one?

i also run on clay and sometimes dusty or damp if not swept well between heats,
the jconcepts were great when new but if i dont keep them clean they work ok and seem to wear quickly. the prolines work good too and seem not to wear as quickly as the the goosbumps but also need to be cleaned to make them perform well. get a better foam for both as that helps alot i have the 2 stage (i think proline makes it) in both and seem good , i also tryed 1/8 buggy foam that also works well . i use the gt rear hubs and needed to order a new outside bearing , and cvd . i heard the 1 degree work but i thought the sc10 came with the 1 degree hubs already. i also found 1+degree (not negitive) in the rear chamber makes it go straiter , you may want to try that before ordering the hubs

We run on hard packed clay. I've had the best results running Bow Ties on the front and Goose Bumps on the rear. After I figured that out, nearly everyone runs the same tires:

I've only tried the goose bumps all around, but I love 'em.
