You are correct. The SQS is a PRW for colder weather or when the track is low bite. The Sapphire can be used on harder tracks with Medium bite.
Thanks

Chris, how long should tire tuff be rolled before taking them off?
Does Acrysol mix well with black sand? Noticed the separation at the bottom and we always shake before use, but prep mix continues to get darker as time goes on. Now I’ve had to even scrape the tire to get what looks like rubber but tires haven’t been ran. Using a mix of mostly btgp and grape with 10-15% BS and same amount Acrysol. Could this be chemical reaction cause a black tar like substance? Pad turns jet black as well.
Thanks Chris! Would quick dry mix with black sand?
Running Hoosier A40’s at lawrenceburg. No real bite in track.no clay. What track tac prep should I be using through out the week and what at track side ?
Currently using Fairfield Mad Man biting blue. I am hoping to find something that provides more bite on dry dusty dirt tracks that have no bite. Any suggestions?
How bad is goat pee on tires and is the tires any good after you use goat pee. I am running maxxis
How much less should you roll in the LR? Just to keep it simple if I roll 100cc how much would I roll in the LR?
Our race season is pretty much over for the year. I am wondering what I should do with my good tires over the winter? Is there any tire chemicals that I can use to maintain tire quality over the winter? I don't really want to soften much, just keep them from drying out, adding some bite isn't a bad thing either.
I'm trying to better understand tires, prep, and how to go fast. I understand (generally) how duro works and when to use less (or more) prep to achieve desired duro. One thing that eludes me is bite. I've heard there are different types of bite, you can't measure it, and you can't feel it in a tire until you're on the track.
So I turn to the source of all things true, Bob's. When you work tires, how do you view bite? Is there anything you can do to measure it? Does it have a linear relationship to some other measurable parameter of the tire?
would there be any way to "revive" a set of maxxis or any tire for that matter after a weekend of goat??...or is it R.I.P. tires??
