RDZ record has been blown away by a guy that runs 14 staggereds. Also, Rob doesn't even run those tires anymore. He does run some style of small roll out flat paddle though, which seem to work very well.
I just didn't want the OP to go buy some over aggressive tires based in what works for a minority of racers. Rjatv may run at a track where you need a lot of paddle. I'd say look at the bikes at your track that lay down good numbers and go from there.
