for BSR's, this is what i usually run

right front gray,, silver gray if there is alot of bite..
left front white, or a green if the white gets real tacky,,
white rears,

for 19 turn some of the guys ran 3 pinks and a purple right front... if the track had a lot of bite, they usually ran double pinks and double purples...

i tend to run no stagger.. this past year i have found this is more consistent.. it sucked truing the tires every run, but it worked...

A combo that I've seen alot of people around Indiana and Michigan with TM or Jacos is Grey or Green LF, Double black RF, either Whites across the rear or White LR and Grey RR.

I personally go with ...

LF: Green (TQ Mod 3-5 minutes)
RF: Gray (TQ Mod 1-2 minutes)
LR: Green (TQ Mod 3-5 minutes)
RR: White (TQ Mod 3-5 minutes)

And for springs ...

LF: progressive green (0.020" sag)
RF: constant red (0-0.010" sag)
LR: wolfe opaque (30wt)
RR: wolfe opaque (30wt)
center: silva silver (50wt + #2 piston)

12.5 ounces on the LR (on a race ready car, body, etc.)

It's a little more than you asked for ... but remember that the tire combo goes along your suspension combo.

BSR's
LF - White
RF - Grey/Silver (if bite is high then Silver)
LR - White
RR - White

Jaco's
Jaco Grey LF
Jaco Black RF
Jaco White LR
Jaco Grey RR (white if bite is low)

Both combo's have worked really well for me.

On flat carpet the best combo I've found is

Rf - silver
Rr - Gray
Lf - Green
Lr - Green or White

This is usually a good starting point and then tune by changing 1 tire at a time if the car is loose or tight, I prefer to tune by using different left side tires. Good Luck.

We will be getting started officially right after labor day, so you guys come on down and I will get ya fixed up on tire choices. In stock there are alot of possible combo's that work equally well. I think Billy may have more of a likin to 19 turn speed. Whatever class come on out and we will have some fun turnin left. I have actually been doing some right and left turnin on teausdays in 12th touring car.
