I have not found the perfect tire yet. I am always changing my tires/motor based on where I am driving.

Now what I am looking for is a nice thick offroad tire! I'll keep looking.

This is what works for me. Not everyone will agree but here is my list so far.

Tire Type + Driving Surface = preformance

Foam Rubber + Carpet/Rugs = Good Traction
Foam Rubber + hardwood = Slippery as driving on ice
hard tread + carpet = "Loose" traction/drifting
hard tread + hardwood = OK traction, good for drifting
hard slicks + hardwood = OK traction, good for drifting
soft tread + carpet = good traction, little slipping, no drifting
soft tread + hardwood = nice traction, little slipping, no drifting
soft slicks + carpet = exelent traction, no slipping
soft slicks + hardwood = exelent traction, slipping only on sharp/hard turns

XMod Setup - Stage 2 Drift Motor(11 tooth) 4 batt, 4.5 degree toe in. medium springs front, hard springs in back.
