Kinda like goat once a Krug tire always a Krug tire .
That is the way we did our maxxis tires .
I wouldnt roll Krug inside myself .

He's talking about the internal prep Krug has.

I would suggest using half as much (of the same internal that was used previously.) There is still chemical left in the tires from internal...Re-rolling will reactivate that remaining chemical and add to. If you re-roll the same amount, you could end up with a very heavy, prep-laden, tire that'll never be fast.

a 60cc tire won’t work anywhere around here in Louisiana. I roll way more than that to get my tires close. And yellow will out run a white. Been proven a lot around bjs, mojave and little dega

yellow will out run a maxxis at those tracks. Battle Creek not sure yet till we get laps on it but forsure bjs. Acadiana I ran whites and was dominate with my jr driver.

yep, you run jr classes, but we proved more than once that we were much better on a maxxis than them vegas, we would maybe be on a vega in UAS just because of the stiff sidewall, we won races on pink and blues at BJs and thats all we ran at Acadiana

Acadiana will chew a vega off

acadiana would chew a vega off depending on time of year and which owner had it. I’ve had numerous wins on Vegas in adults at bjs and old lil dega. I have a drive across all classes from stockers to opens, now bjs with new dirt I see maxxis finally doing good but majority of all wins there have been on yellow vegas

Dont want to sound rude, but them on vegas dont have a good enough handling kart to run on pink and blues, thats why they on vegas, makes the kart feel better, but maxxis is much faster if you get the tires and kart right.

You’re not being rude. We did a test couple years ago, sold a kart to a friend and brought to bjs. Threw it together and didn’t scale it, took set of maxxis punching 60 that was an older tire. Got them down to the 30s and ran 2nd to our other kart on new vegas. But ever since then hard to make a maxxis work, now with the new dirt be different. I’ll stand to Vegas is usually faster than a maxxis at bjs in the past.
