I am going to try and race at liberty at the indoor races and I was wanting to know what kind of tire setup I would need. Last year I think they had a 33 tire rule. What is the preffered tire round or flat cuts. Do you need tires that are thin cut or full rubber. I will also be on a Triton if that makes any difference. what's is the preffered duromotor on the tires.

Liberty gets hard and fast, it gets good bite also, SS33A tire rule. You'll want several sets 52-60 duro range, prepped differently internal and externally. You'll also want both round and flat cut tires, but mostly flat cut thinner tires IMO. This is my hometown track, if you plan on racing there and being competitive, id suggest making sure you have new tires to be competitive, and start your internal work soon to be ready for the races.

I wouldn't suggest inside prep. You want your tires as hard as you can get them there. Definitely want something above 56. Probably about 60-65 and prep them down to the track.

You can have a hard tire that is internally prepped with Burris 33A's. Talk to some of the guys who won there last year if you are friends with any of them, i guarantee you they had at least something rolled in them. I know for a fact one of the $2000 Heavy winners did, and several others. I dont recall anyone winning on tires that were harder than 60-62 last year
What types of internal work would need to be done, usually burriss tires don't get inside prep
If you need help with tires or need tires for these events, get in touch with Josh Evans, Advance Kart Shop, Josh will get you going in the right direction and is a great guy to talk to.

I had tired punching 55. They went away and I couldn't make my way up through the field. I put on some about 63 and came from about 15th to 4th. I know hard tires work there.

I ran 4th in the Unilli Heavy $2000 to win, and 5th in Clone lite, i know what tires the track takes/took as well. I ran those with a blown headgasket and still didnt do too bad, especially considering it was my first indoor race. I suggested 52-60 as a starting point, you arent going to practice or qualify on a set of tires that are 60-65 and do very well, im sure you know that. Now for the features, id agree with you, but qualifying and practice are just as important at those races. I never got over 62 on durometer there.
