My whites are cut and sanded. I think the a medium inner and soft outer is bad for side hill. Its just gonna take some time, but I think they'll work. Pinks will be a good cold weather tire.

Inner wheel supports fix that.

Got out to Vegas last week for Nationals and did some tire tests. The rock had tons of grip, like Disney with teeth. But was also super dusty alot of areas with loose gravel.
Super worn out tires were working well. Most guys were running Sedona's, boss claws, khaos or rovers.
I tested the red Blocks with medium inners, memory outers and some outer tuning rings out back, no outer rings up front but inner wheel supports. The blocks did ok but lacked the forward bite for some reason. The blocks would just spin and not bite. You could hear them working but they wouldn't grab.
I switched to the Khaos (year old tires!) setup, with my normal non-memory setup, with front inner support wheel rings. The khaos's worked awesome. They had better forward bite but could still break loose of the rocks when needed (not too much grip).
I also tested sedona's and they had a touch more forward bite than the Khaos setup. But in some cases too much grip and would slide a little more on the dusty rocks. And I didn't like the unpredictability of the sedonas with some wheel speed. They were a close second for the comp tire choice.
So, I ended up running Khaos's for Saturday's comp and switching the foams to the medium inners/ memory outers.
I added a medium inner tuning ring and a firm outer tuning ring. So, 4 layers of foam in each rear tire, kinda firm. Tires worked awesome.
My driving skills on the other hand still need some tuning. I ended up 65th! But there were a ton of good drivers and I made mistakes.
