Tires for track racing

[kazi]

Hi, wich are the best tires for track racing? the track is quite fast dry and bumpy due is in bad conditions, now I have the stock tires and they work ok but I'll like to test another model, any advice?

Sup man try the pro line bowties or something similar. These work great for most any type of dirt situation, whether hard packed or loose. They are not so great to run on the street as they will lose their pins very quickly.

Try Pro-Line Bow Ties or Panther Knobbies. Bow Ties might be your best beat.

If you're running on a rather packed surface that's dry, look at something with short pins. Bow ties are good like others have recommended, and I know other manufacturers make similar tires. If the surface is deeper and looser you'll need to step up to a longer pin or some type of biting tread. That way you'll get grab.

Now, going wayyyyy out on a limb...if the track is so dry that there is basically no loose dust or dirt on the surface, and the racing groove has been worn in so that there is a bit of rubber laid on it, you may even consider getting slicks or foams. I have seen a few ST racers using slicks on heavily grooved tracks and it's working. But it has to be very worn in or you'll just slide all over the place..
