Yellow vegas. MCS are new version of MBS tire.

Yellow Vega. Nothing else compares

Yep, got to agree with the above.
Yellow Vegas are the way to go. MCS seem a bit tougher than the older MBS for whatever reason.
Flat cut the thick right sides or just scuff the thins and roll.

Yellow vega rights for sure. I've seen Some fast guys on right side vega whites but yellows hands down for me. I've run Firestone lefts with success, and vega reds on the left currently . Gonna try right side reds in like August when is 105 out- Dyno had that $25 deal and I couldn't resist.

reds just wont have the speed the yellows have. save your money.

Good luck I ran them and they never came in it was like being on ice. I think they are a day dirt tire only imo
