Thanks for the input.

I came across the aquas as part of a car purchase.I have 1 set of fronts 1 set of rears.Would 3 aquas and a purple rf be a loose set-up?

Why not mix brands?
Most of my foams are BSR only a few are Jaco.Its pretty rough where I race and the jaco rims are to brittle.

That's how I used em. It freed it up a bit and they don't wear out as fast as the blacks that they replaced

Maybe I am color blind.I know the dots are the same color on both sets but maybe they are Green.Its funny lookin green.
They smoked when I took a heavy cut off of them but not as bad as purple.

Just compared A brand new green with the one in question and they are not the same color.I have been serching for aqua fronts and I can't find any.

I have the Integy tire truer with the "snake skin" bit.I would like to replace it with the stone(I think it was made of stone) bit.

Thanks for the help.

TM racing tires are a great price and are very strong you should take a look in product suport for info

Tried them out today with good results on the first run when I doped them with niftech.Second run was an hour later w/o sauce and the car was very loose.

I used to run JACOs' on flat tracks. And Aquas' worked very well but I did run them on both rears only. Up front I used JACO gray(LF) and black(RF). The one thing you should do running aquas is measure your tires after every run and swap side to side is you start getting any reverse stagger, on the rear. Other than that I would recommend going to gray(LF) black(RF) white(LR) gray(RR). This is a good starting point for stock on flat carpet since the aqua will wear faster than the exotics.
I see you have BSRs' as well if you stick with their brand try green(LR&LF) silver/gray(RF) and gray/white(RR).
Also TM tires personal favorite combo black(LF) Dbl.Black(RF) white(LR) and gray(RR).
For traction TQ MOD.
Just some combo that I know will work well on flat carpet.
GOOD LUCK and enjoy.
