Tire type to surface type - Mr. Associated - 08-13-2004

What type of tire do you like to use,brand name/foam or rubber/size on what type of surfaces. I had some stock rubber tires on my Nitro TC3 and after a short time they did'nt hook up at all on the street. I'm currently using Jaco Nitro shoes (foams), 30mm in the back and 24mm up front. The rears are softer than the fronts for traction purposes. I really like the way they hook as long as your on a street thats not to dusty. I'm curious how they would handle on an out door on-road track thats perpared. Of course their not going to have ther long life like rubber tires but I think their the better choice for getting the best traction.
