Tire choices ?

What tires worked well for all of you last year. I believe there were a couple tires that were just released before the race last year. What brand, patterns and compounds?

let's here it.

you should listen to him he's right

last year a couple of guys had proline m4 recoils and they looked good, anything small pinned in a soft to very soft compound seemed to work very well
indoor specific tires like those used on clay tracks did not seem to work for anyone, probably because the buidling is filled with outside type dirt, not clay

Thanks for the info, much appreciated. Has anyone tried m4 compound in cooler weather, will they last more than one round?

Daryl, SS Enduros worked last year. I bet the SS impacts would be good. And Im sure that m4 recoils could be good.

Thanks Kevin, I was thinking of m4 recoils but didn't know how well they would last, thinking i should stick with m3.
