Hi Ivan,

This is a good rule of thumb regarding tyres that I stick to.

Freshly cut damp (ish) grass but not damp enough the shine the tyres -Schumacher Green minispikes (medium compound) - this is my "default" tyre. Sometimes I'll use a yellow minispike on the front with green rears.

Very dry and dusty grass - Schumacher Yellow minispikes (soft compound) all round.

Grass wet enough to shine the tyre - Balistic Buggy Green spikes or brand new Schumacher Green minispikes

Very wet grass where mud is coating the surface - Schuamcher blue minispike or new Balistic Green rears with green Schumacher fronts.

If you going to buy tyres, I'd recommend the following:
2wd - Full set of Schumacher yellows and a pair of Schumacher green rears
4wd - Just a full set of Schumacher Yellows.

The cars are very sensitive to tyre changes and it can make the difference between race-winner and undriveable.

Will
