Cuz the Plytes have a softer rubber compound. Try the Klytes, they have a harder rubber compound.

well yeah OBVIOUSLY size makes a difference to what your doing its basic science , thinner tyres  will have less resistence and be faster for rolling and spinning and larger tyres will provide more surface for scuffing possibly more stable with the slower speed to the skinny counterpart .

im hard core 1.50 primo comets.
and I use 115 to 122 psi in them.

they scuff good
they spin amazing
and they roll forever with out slowing down.
amazingly light weight

they do however wear out kinda fast,  but hey - they are only $18 each
all other tires feel inferior to me
