Our Pro Compound tires are still extremely popular with racers all over the world. The Super Slicks work best on fully prepared (blown off and with traction additive) track surfaces. The X-Pattern Radials or V-Groove Radials work very well on smooth asphalt that is fully prepared (blown off and with traction additive) or semi-prepared (blown off only). Many racers have told us that the X-Pattern tires work great for carpet racers also! The Pro Compound Super Radials work great on unprepared surfaces or neighborhood streets. The tread pattern kicks out dust and small pebbles quite efficiently.
