What tires work??
I think most tires work well
for grip, wet and dry. but there are 2 elements to a tire that
'works' one is general grip, the other is how they jump.
Proline tires proberbly have a
little less grip in the wet than the normal 'UK' tires like
Schumacher and Ballistic's but these are heavier and they jump
really well, the car is very blanced in the air and easily
controlable.
In the dry Proline tires have good grip all round, in the wet
they lack a little grip compared to the schum and BB tires on
the astro but they are far better on the wet/damp tarmac
sections.
Which Proline tires???
2WD - in the wet - M3 Step-Pin
tires are best on the rear
Part number - 8087-02
Front tires - the narrow
proline rib gives most steering (four ribs)
Part number - 8175-02
2WD in the Dry - Step-Pin will
still be very good, but I tried Bow-Ties and liked them
Part Number - 8186-02
In
the dry, I don't think the spike pattern with Proline matters
that much, less spike=less grip but there is a lot of grip in
the track anyway so you can 'tune' it with different tire
patterns.
Other tires worth a try in the
dry
Holeshot
- 8184-02 - these are the B4 kit tires
4WD - I have not really used
there yet, but I would say Holeshots (Front - 8185)
all round would be pretty ace.
Proline Inside Job (front - 8203,
Rear - 8203)
all round might be great if its dry.
Ballistic all round in green
compound should be good in the wet.
