Depends on what type of carpet, speed of car, corner types, grip, jumps set ups, driving style/on the drive axle or front...........?

Not sure on which is the better tyre as i havent tried any Dboots but after having a look at some Dboots at the weekend, the quality of them is better than the schumacher.

Yet to try them myself, but app they are better grip on carpet, but a lot less grip on sports hall floor/slippy floor areas.

Hope this helps.

Ive run dboots and yellow pins back to back at our club and can safely say ill be sticking with pins. The dboots offer a far higher grip level but they feel to soft and roll more even with firm inserts in them, and they are utter crap on the shiny stuff.

They are however getting better as they wear down as they allow for a little slide instead of grip rolling, but i think pins are better as they are good straight off and until the very end.

Just my opinion.............

Depends upon the carpet.

In my experience to date, dboots offer more traction on our club carpet.
