    Default Which tyres for wet/damp cloggy dirt?

    Hi all, which are the best buggy tyres for wet cloggy dirt that completely clogs up your tyres? Would preferably like someting from aka or pro-line.
    Thanks, Jon.

    I use something well used/bald or with very small/short pins (as less tread to clog). Today at the national I ran Beta Cubez in round 1.

    Ok thanks for that. I was doing the opposite to all of you and going for bigger block tyres in the damp which would explain why it was so awful lol.

    Proline wise you want Tazer or Holeshot.
    At Pendle a set of M3 will last a good couple of meetings and i move to M4 if its really damp.

    Jon I was running soft Gridirons all day. I had loads of grip when the dirt was sticking and as it dried out I softened up the rear end slightly so by the finals when it was dry I was still using the same set with plenty of grip.

    Gridirons with aka wheel discs which have been trimmed (to give clearance bwteen them and the wheel and then siliconed in to fill the gap. You still get the flex from the wheel, but no mud/dirt build up.
