Finally we find the one of the reason why the RCP track low grip, the answer is if you have run silicon tire in RCP track, the silicon material will stick on the RCP track make it less grip, that's why Kenon home track, Chad home track and some track they never run silicon tire in RCP track, so we a ton of grip in this year regional lay out as 7.2 at Mod, 7.7 at stock.
Many manufacturers do not list the silicone content in their tires, so it is hard for us to determine what tires have silicone and what do not. I primarily use Kyosho tires... although, I think that even they have silicone.
Is there a way to test the silicone content in a tire?

All PN Carpet Tire is silicon tire, all PN RCP tire is rubber tire, Kyosho all tire is rubber tire, except they release 10 degree before is silicon tire, other brand I'm not sure.
Not without chemicals, probably... the silicone is somewhat oily, so you'd probably have to chemically treat the track to get it out, which would probably completely kill the RCP surface. You could always scrub off the top and have everything resurfaced, but that's not exactly easy or cheap either.
That said, even with the grip advantage at Kenon, Chad's 7.7 in 70t stock was just ridiculous. Sure that's not a 69t motor, dude?
