The tires are Hoosier A6's. They are R compound (VERY sticky) DOT approved (HA) tires. R compound tires are NOT streetable as they are affectionately known as "erasers" because they wear that fast. They look like Formula 1 tires, slicks with a couple of 5/32nds groves. WORTHLESS except for racing. As to breakaway "feeling", I was in Comp mode on the ESC, but I have been racing on R compound tires for years so I can say they STICK and are generally controlable beyond their maximum slip angles. Just easy up a bit and they grab again. Get "stupid" and they will react accordingly!!!!!!
