A very good tire for the high bite clay tracks. I ran mine on my AE 2WD drive SC5M.
I am an amateur driver at my local track. I do not race but set decent lap times with respectable consistency when practicing. I run these tires on my original SC10 2wd without any tire sauce and without grinding inserts or the tread. My local track is hard-packed, wet clay so I'm running the MC compound. On practice days when the track is not as maintained (lightly watered, occasionally blown off, etc), these tires do very well for me. After 2 full battery packs of constant driving, there is zero wear on the tread. Even with full tread they don't really load up much and clean easily. They grip well enough on hard, damp clay to take sweeping turns at speed with only minimal slide. For hairpin turns, they can easily be broken loose with light braking for a controlled slide. Again, I don't race so can't speak to any "tuning" tricks with these tires. I use these to have an enjoyable practice day at the track.
Excellent grip on dirt surfaces, but wears off quickly
Tons of grip and really nice finish. I've used them on carpet and clay tracks
Reviewers generally rate these Positron short course truck tires highly for grip, particularly on high-bite clay tracks. One reviewer running the MC compound on hard, damp clay reported strong grip, minimal wear after two battery packs, and good cleaning, while noting slide in hairpins. Another reviewer on the M4 compound found grip excellent on dirt but reported the tread wearing off quickly. A further reviewer praised grip and finish on both carpet and clay. Reviews mention the MC and M4 compounds, and most reviewers do not specify compound, so compound-specific wear differences are based on a single review.
