fair enoughm so if it's dry what are you guys gonna use ? Pins or Spykes?

Actually I think the yellow mini pins last longer with good grip than the spikes. The other reason is that there are no ripple type bumps at MBV, there are jumps and undulations but smooth ones so the extra suppleness of a minispike shape/sidewall is not needed so much.

Haggis - Belsten says I've got dibs on those pink BB's too ;)

Elvo tells me it'll be yellow pins and gaylord staggers on the front of 2wd :bored:

just trust the locals: indeed: Schum MiniPins Yellow in the rear and Staggered yellow in the front for 2WD
(And cut the first outer row on those rear tires)

4WD is a different matter. Again Schum MiniPins Yellow in the rear (First outer row cut) and on the front tires .... up to you to get a balanced car.
I used worn Minispikes or severely cut minipins.

Another option for 4wd is using a 4wd front mini-pin in the rear and using 2wd mini-pin in the front. Some use staggerds in the front of a 4wd to make it easier to drive.

In 2wd most use minipins in the rear and staggerds in the front, but there are some people who are daft enough to try to use 4wd front mini-pins as a 2wd rear tire :rolleyes:
