I have some taped standard size Crime Fighters on my BL Savage that hook up great on every kind of dirt around here: bashing or on the track! My local track usually runs the Monster class right after watering down the hard pack blue groove clay surface, so it's a bit more mushy for our class than others, and the Crime Fighters will give great traction and still have a pattern that won't clog, whereas Bow Ties tend to just pack full of the sticky clay mud. I would say Bow Ties would be better for a strictly dry running on our track, but any time they wet it down go for the Crime Fighters.
