Default Ballistic Buggy or Schumacher

I have always used Schumacher tyres on my b4 for as long as I can remember but I have heard that Ballistic Buggy can give you more grip in the wet. Basically I am confused which one is better to use in the wet and dry or is it down to personally preference?

Thanks
Kev

BB's in the wet, schu's in the dry.

BB's give you more forward traction due to the flat profile of the tire, this however means you get less side bite compared to the rounded profile of schu tire.

To be honest I don't think it's quite that cut and dry, it depends on the surface, i.e. I think BB's are better on grass but can vary enormously on astro from great to undrivable depending on astro type.

So it can vary from Track to track, the other thing I find is Shcu greens are brilliant for 3 minutes, then shite when the edge wears, BB's are more consistant for longer!
