nah anything harder than the purple, maybe the blue and it doesnt steer to well on those surfaces either.

Do you even HAVE the both of the tire sets to compare?

with fast motors (2.6 and up) , on SMOOTH surfaces (finished wood, lanoleum, smooth countertops, ect ect) The BACK tires are prone to slip out if the FRONT have too much grip, causing DONUTS.

This can be prevented by adding BIT RACER harder compound tires to the FRONT, and BIT CHAR-G softer compounds to the back.

As the motor speed goes up and the gearing goes down, the car has more and more of a tendency to slip and lose control.

Having bit char-g (fruit-colored) on all 4 tires makes the front grip too much, making the back tires slip out.

I have raced this way, and so do many other people. It really works. Try it. Really.
