Id like to know how you didnt have grip with the dirt hawgs??
I run at Ribble (wasnt there this week as was working) and I personally dont find any issues with them. More grip than you need you just need to condition the tyres properly. If they are that bad why did me and ben both win the 2wd and 4wd respectively week previous, on hawgs when everyone else was running worn spikes??
I understand the need to protect the carpet, it cost a hell of a lot of money and it is to be used for on roads cars aswell as the off roads so compromises had to be made, hence the Dirt Hawgs.
There will be more jumps and obstacles for next week im gonne get jiggy with some plywood over the weekend, and next weds ill see if i can win again with my dirt hawgs!!
