Great feedback, thanks Joker. I'm excited to see how they do. Hopefully my tires come in time for the COG clinic.

Not having raced since 1996 i only knew tioga comp 3 tires, that's the best there was. At the RC indoor 2010 Diesel Dan informed me "You need to replace those tires " At the time , I had no idea how much knowledge Dan had , but took his advise and replaced my 20 yr. old comp 3's with new Tioga PowerBlock tires on my Cruiser. Like BND , It Looked strange looking down on the gate and not seeing a Knobby tire, but having a couple races under these tires, I have yet to push them past their limit.

I remember those comp 3's back in the day! I thought it was a cool throwback to see the print of the comp IIIs on the USA Olympic team's jersey.

I ran the intense mk's at the salina track this weekend. I decided to lower the pressure in the rear tire, and it really helped with traction. I'm still excited to try the konversions.

I tried the Konversions out tonight and I LOVE 'em! They packed up with wet dirt/horse manure at the beginning of the clinic, while the track was still wet, but once I cleaned 'em out, they gripped like crazy. I was running about 80 psi in front, and 60 psi in the rear. Thanks for the recommendation!
