“We have been receiving some questions about guys running different tires on the front versus the rear of the cars and trucks. Here are some combinations to try once we can get back to the tracks for practice and testing.

1/8th Buggy:

The AKA Products Zipps have emerged as probably the most versatile tire for using in combination with other tires. The Zipps when used on the front of the buggy are extremely consistent and can make the car feel a bit more mellow for long mains.

- Zipps/Double Downs - For abrasive surfaces with some dust where you can't run a bar tire this is a pretty standard main combination.

- Zipps/Catapults - The Catapults provide a little less overall grip than the Double Downs, but when the track is really rutted or choppy they tend to catch less ruts and glide over things.

- Impacts/Gridirons - The Impact is a little less edgy than Gridirons when tracks begin to gain abrasion, so before you make the jump to a Zipp or Double Down trying Impacts on the front and Gridirons on the rear is always an idea.
