Best tires for track

Posted: Wed Jan 10, 2007 9:41 pm Post subject: Best tires for track

I don't bash a lot an lately, I've been running my savage more on a track. I'm still using the stock dirt bonz.

Which tire will allow me to have a better grip in the track and specially when cornering ?

Thanks for the help.

what are the track conditions? loose dirt? sand/dusty? hard packed clay? that will help narrow down your results

Rdub202,

The track I'mn currently running in, I could say is in good conditions. Most of the course is well packed and only on the turns there is a little bit of very fine gravel and that makes the truck slip a little bit.

There is another cirucit that I go, were you cand find a lot of dust on the curves but the rest of the circuit is OK.

Dirt bonz do OK in these circuits but I was wondering if there is anything better out there.....

Thanks for the help.

The bowties outperform the dirtbonz hands down IMO. 40 series are a little better suited for my taste. I run on hard pack red clay tracks. Actually my Mulchers did really well on the clay too.

Mulchers or Zombies are common at our track which is hard packed clay with some dust on top. Alot of the top racers run crimefighters MT or MTRs Bowtie MTR and HPI Nubz, Oh and the tires produced by Panther are really nice as well. I perfer a tire with a slightly larger side wall. Over all best advice i can give you is what Ryan said, go to your local track and ask around. All the top racers at my track have helped me set up winning combos on my Savage, SHO, and LSP-R
