| ![]() I also agree that the Switches hook up great. Best on hardpacked med/hi grip clay. I've run them at both LRH & WCRC on my Blitz & I love them! |

| ![]() The truck looked like it had good grip out there last night- I had a pretty good view from my marshal position. Gonna have to get me a set. Do they have the ribs on the inside like the Switches do? |

| ![]() Forgive my ignorance. ![]() I haven't heard of panther, or see anyone who uses them? AKA, JC, Proline, HB and one other brand i can't name at the moment are whats most used around here. What does Panther offer that draws you guys in to use them? |

No ignorance....never heard of a dumb question, but I've heard a lot of dumb answers. For me...Panther has always shown incredible wear and durability. Most of the time I wear out my inserts long before I wear out the tire. Don't let this scare you into thnking Panther rubber is harder than most...these tires hook up and work awesome! Panther is a small company that focuses ONLY on tires. Wheels, bodies and other things are important, but like a good friend of mine tells me "Find something your good at and stick with it". That's exactly what Panther has done. | |

Interesting. I may give them a try, it can't hurt. Currently i have Calibers, Bowties, goosebumps, and double dees. We run on outdoor 1/8 scale tracks so its usually hard, loose and blown out with low traction. does panther have anything that would work? | |

| ![]() On something like that track I would stick with the Goosebumps. They hold up well on a blown out hardpacked track. These work well on tracks with a good clay content. So a high grip hardpacked track is what they are made for and perform well on. |

| ![]() I think you're referring to the Switches? The new Boa looks like a slightly more aggressive Subculture or P/L Holeshot. I'm anxious to try them out on my local track, looked like they were working great on Ray's truck the other night. Track was pretty loose, some slick hardpack with light to medium dust covering the majority of the surface, and a heavy buildup of powder on the outside of the track.

I think you are talking about the Panther Switch. That tire works great on a "clean" surface. You can run Soft compund Switch tires on a hardpacked outdoor track. For a clay coumpund track the Clay compoud Switchs work best. | |

![]() What I really like about them is they still have forward bite even when they aren't that new, plus they wear the least of any of the new indoor tires I've tried. If you run on a hard packed track, I'd try them. | |

To the Panther tires work best with a certain foam, or is it based on track conditions? | |
