Welcome to Bob's I'm sure you'll find all your answers in a day or two. Oh and with tires you normally stick with the same brand of tire all the way around.
 
Thanks guys..this is one race on concrete then i switch to dirt for the up coming season here in the Carolina s..so i should run burris on all four!

Thats for sure theres alot of tire companys out there, this area is pretty much on a Burris tire rule . I 'de love to be able to try out some Maxxis or EL's !
 
A few yrs. back I saw a guy on Burris 22's and 11's sit on pole at Oakland Valley dirt oval, with a quicker time than the 2-stroke Yamaha's
 
Try to contact some of the local tire gurus in the area that will be at KOC- they should be able to hook you up with tires and prep. It may be more expensive, but shortens the learning curve considerably, and that is a very competitive race.
