Press release from JConcepts:
 
Debuted at the 2014 Reedy Race of Champions, the JConcepts Silver Compound
was the quick break-in compound used with success in the open and
invitational classes. The new indoor compound labeled as "Super Soft
Indoor" works alongside the gold, however, breaks in slightly quicker
allowing drivers to get up to speed quickly and when practice is at a
minimum. The silver is not a replacement for the popular gold compound
but an option that can be used to dial in on a freshly groomed track or
offer a quick break-in alternative.
 
 
About Dirt Webs - 
During 2012, legendary tire builder, Brian Kinwald, came up with a hand-made
tire design. After testing at indoor tracks around the country,
qualifying results during the 2012 Hot Rod Shootout and working together
with JConcepts designer Jason Ruona, the Dirt Webs tire was born.
Production tire versions debuted during the 2013 IFMAR World Championships
at Silver Dollar Raceway in Chico, CA, where Ryan Maifield used the front
tire to his advantage during the A-Final events taking the fastest lap times
on his way to a 3rd overall podium finish in the 2wd class. 
The tread, originally based on the popular Pressure Points tire design
connects uniformly positioned Web-Bars to create an amazingly stable tire.
The Dirt Webs, the ultimate Bar-Tire, relies heavily on the Web-treatment
for massive forward acceleration; however, the design does not stop there.
Inside the supported bar portion rests horizontal and vertical alternating
bars which help balance side-bite and backs up the Web-Bars to help minimize
wear. Down in the corners, small Pressure Point sized pins break-in
quickly providing surface area for specialty indoor racing and also lend a
helping hand to stabilize the tire in extreme high-grip conditions. 
The outer edges feature a single rib on each side which proves extra
side-bite during heavy cornering and side-loading characteristics. The
Dirt Web thread sits on the proven "Bar Code" tire carcass giving the tire a
low-profile, wide-body appearance allowing clipped tread to extend all the
way to the outer edges. The carefully shaped profile allows a great balance
of monster forward traction and comfortable side-bite. Available in
multiple compounds, the Dirt Webs can easily be matched to any track
conditions ranging from indoor clay, indoor dirt to outdoor hard-packed or
treated clay or dirt.
