Default ribbed for a better feeling?

it depends on the surface you are racing on. ribs tend to be used on clay tracks, but can also be used on very high traction tracks where spikes are too "snatchy".

give us some details of where you race and we may be able to help further

Walla, the only reason that i started using them was because i found that they lasted longer and because on the track in middlesbrough it was very high traction so i sometimes found it too snatchy with spikes and with ribbed it didn't do that.

at wbmcc, we can't use minipins, so staggered ribs are the choice, even for 4wd
