Default Best tires for Dirt Track

Looking to replace the Talons on my Revo with something better. I race/bash on a dirt track and want something with good grip but also not going to balloon like the talons do.

I like the Crime Fighters over the Bow Ties, and I used to love the Bow Ties. The CF's have more tire in contact with the surface than the BT's do and there made up of the same M2 compound.

The dirt we used on the track is loose in most areas, straights aways, corners, burms, but hardpacked on the jumps and through the woops section. So I guess I need a middle of the road somewhat all around tire.

CF work good on hard pack and pretty good on loose dirt. So probably CF will be the tire to run.

I run CF and holeshots on my truggy, the CF work great in my back yard (sand) and good at the track (blue grooved) and I have yet to ty my holeshots.

My CF's work great on hard and loose packet dirt, huge roosters tails of dirt flying up.
