    tires

    hey guys,

    i was curious. where i am in texas the summer as we all knowis hot and dry. which makes the tracks here dusty. anyone got some good ideas on what kinds of tires i may wanna run instead of the tractor treads i am now? reason i am asking is because i noticed some racers spinning the tires coming out of corners like they lost traction. any ideas?

    all i know is that the masher 2000 have great traction on tones of surfaces also spinning out can be caused by the driver

    M2K's are notorious for stinking on dusty surfaces.

    I would think that some kind of pin tires would be your best bet, and he's got a point about throttle control.

    When I lived in Austin it was hot and humid too...

    I would also think some sort of soft pin type tire would be best.
    If you live in or near Chicago please check the "chicago" thread in the track/buddy locator section and come bash with us - go to the last page for the latest or read the whole thing - later
