Tire suggestions?

[awksedgreep]

Does anyone have tire suggestions? I know the track is still being built, but AMS looked really hooked up on youtube. Will track conditions be similar?

I'm bringing megabites, subcultures, and gridirons so far.

I don't know what a Megabite is, but you'll be fine with Gridirons and Subs...The temps will be cool and the track was not abrasive, so a softer compound should be fine.

Megabites are a hot bodies tread. I've heard good things, but haven't run them yet.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I ran those at ATLSX last weekend and were awesome. Megabites are similar to a holeshot. Pink compound from what I understand is similar to M4 or Super Soft AKA.

Tires....

Trying to remember everything that was ran at the AMS. The temps will be low 59-65 and highs of 79-84 so the weather man says. That will be a little cooler than the ams(95 highs/75 low), so that would mean a softer tire would work and less rubber will be layed down or taken by the track.

But it always grooves and provides good traction. Everyone ran something different at the AMS but you have a good choice. JConcepts will be at the event and have tires for sale as well.

I'll find you a video of what was the "Southern Indoor Championship" held at this same arena. Our dirt is generally a bit more packed because we have large dump trucks, loaders, and skid steers on it, plus a roller packer. The SIC was built with bobcats and a packer but its very close and will give you a great idea....

be back in a sec..

Best I can find but really I would just compare to the AMS surface as the equipment used(weight) and the water is done much different so it ends up much more packed.

You build some nice tracks. I'm not used to packed surfaces. I'm hoping I'll just drive better and not be confused by all the traction. :)

I sure hope I have the problem with too much traction. I think it will be on the different side for me. I might pick up some Sevens or DD's from JConcepts. Seemed like the sevens did good at the AMS.

Maifield won Buggy on JC Subcultures (green).

Watson won Sportsman buggy on JC Subcultures (Blue); I was third on the same.

Watson and I both ran JC Sevens (blue) in truggy as well.

Lots of buggy guys were running Holeshots and various other threads like that. Pretty sure Drake ran Holeshots for most of AMS.
