Rubber with a little bit of tread.

Bare steel showing through is when you hit the tire's so-called "sweet spot." The steel gives ULTIMATE traction due to it's inflexibility and obvious superior strength to rubber.

Just run them til the steel is starting to show through, then FLOOR IT. What top speed have you got?
