Here are some ideas from our most popular set ups


Stock/19 turn; Purple/Blue RF, Gray LF, White LR, Dbl gray RR This combo has been untouchable lately in the stock and 19-0 for sure and great in some applications with 19 open timing

19 open/modified; Purple RF, Pink or gray LF, Pink LR, Pink or dbl pink RR.

Those are my top selling combinations for flat oval. It is what I run myself as well. Sometimes guys will stray a bit from this to make changes that they are looking for but these are the best right now. Hopefull that helps a little

Mr. Murdock, I tried that tire set-up a little over a week ago and the car was awsome. It was the first time I had ever tried Murdock tires, and was very very satisfied. I was wondering what Tires you would recomend for a banked oval track, Classic Hobbies in Akron to be specific, in either 19 turn open or open modified. Thanks in advance.
