Has been my go to rear tire for black crc. Good grip and last longer than some other comparable tires.
New go-to tire for grey and black carpet, plenty of forward grip with a happy medium between too much side bite and not enough
My main tire racing on regular grey office carpet, paired with Rivet fronts as well. Got ~25 5 min runs before I swapped them out and they would still work just fine for practice tires.
Worked great on my B6.4 on black carpet. Little edgy at first but once broken in they did great! Similar to JCon Fuzz bites.
