1/8th scale tires - 04-13-2006, 05:25 PM

Hello guys, I'm looking to race my 1/8th scale a bit more this outdoor season and am looking for tire suggestions for the tracks we normally hit: LH, Rockpile, Glitchers, etc.

I've got a good set of Crimefighters so far. What else might be good? TIA...

Panther K2's is a general all around good tire. I like them better than my Cf's.

I am pretty sure I have a set of those. Not sure what compound. I also have CF's.

Which one would last longer on cement for break-in?

depends on the compounds, I would rather wear out the crimes though, the K2's are a better tire so keep those fresh. IMO
