Softs...What's the best?

I've got hardwood floors at home and I've found that I need softs on the rear and softs on the front to get good, responsive handling. The stocks that come with the bits are crap for my surface causing spinouts and severe over-steering that results in my cars doing donuts....
I bought a few Bit-Char-G tyres sets and have tried the grey coloured softs from there and I get better results. But the Lxx tyres I've got kick arse of the TOMY softs.....
I've also broken out some clones tyres and have found them to be quite soft as well.
I've yet to buy any pullbacks but I want to. I believe their traction will be even better from what I've seen on the boards...
Suggestions pimps?

pullbacks offer great grip. i like the thunder charger wheels and tires. i just put together another car tonight with them. they track nice n straight.

I have laminate hardwood and all of my cars get really bad handling because they slide around and spin out..I've got my stock cars to flip in turns and pull small wheelies when I thoroughly clean the tires..but after 15 seconds of running they get dusty and slide and spin...any tire combo or mod to the tires I can do to fix it?

I just use the "dirt" tires that come with the MW cars. My LXX are Kick ass too.
and I have dusty old parkay. Its about 40yrs old and about 5 years since refinishing.

thunder charger wheels are pretty nice too. not as nice as pullback tires.

I have a Thunder Charger and it doesn't slide as bad as my Shen Qi Wei but it still slides when they get a bit dusty..it flips when I clean the tires..but they get dusty after 15 seconds...
