Hey Junior,
I have ordered some of the PN Tires but I have not had a chance to test them out yet. As soon as I get a chance to do some testing, I will give you my opinion on them. Also, here is a link to the Kyosho site that has some dNANO information that I think is very helpful. I hope this helps answer any questions that you may have.

Yeah, they are definitely fun to drive. Wait till you start adding all of the hop up options. You will be pleasantly surprised at how well the car handles. What pinion are you running on it right now?

PN dNaNo tires are silicon based and follow the same values as the PN Mini-Z tires. So an 8 rear is the same as Mini-Z 8 rear.
The PN tires are wider than the stock Kyosho tires. Some like this, others not. I personally have so far stuck with stock Kyosho rear (which is 10 degrees) and now use a Kyosho 40 front. I was using PN 45. My car is the Motul Z. Note that I carry Atomic, PN and Kyosho tires at my shop, so I'll try them all out at some point.
Related to tires is what surface you'll be running on. The above is in reference to RCP track,however there are several track options available. My shop will be testing the RealTracks product shortly. Here is video of them running at HTUSA:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5e9vS40ggbo
Most of the cars in that video are using box-stock setups including tires.
Here is an example on Realtracks with non-stock tires:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmoPaC-1anM
He is running the following:
-front silver spring soft / FA 40 degree tire
rear hard plate / RA 20 degree tire
ICS gyro setting Max
Cheers

Hi Junior,
Best-sellers are by body choice, not by MM or RM (chassis config). Basically, people buy the car they like.
Right now, the touring cars are the best sellers.
For me personally, I picked the Motul Z 2007. It's looks cool, but really I picked it because it is MM and it has the same offset front and rear. I thought that this would make for a stable car.
re: RCP setup, check out the 'Tech tips" section of my site (link in my signature below). I have write ups on the Motul Z 2007 dNaNo. Also, someone much more knowledgeable on dNaNo is Q'on from Nanotrax.net, so check him out.
His shop doesn't use RCP, but does use foam, but setups maybe more applicable than what I will be using for RealTracks.

Looking real good Junior. I can't believe how well that is coming out for such a small scale body. I know I have said this before but your painter has some serious skills. Have you done anything to the dNANO lately?
