I'm a noob when it comes to tire selection.
For concrete, is it better to run slicks or treads?
What kind of tire inserts?
26mm or 24mm?

I'm really liking HPI's scale tires with the treads for I'm using a nissan GTR body and scale rims;
Advan A038 Belted Tire 24mm (27R)
or
X-PATTERN RADIAL TIRE 26mm D-COMPOUND)
However, something tells me that these types of tires aren't optimal.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!!

I'll be using a:
mamba max esc,
4600kv motor
4s lipo
in a xxx-s

Target speed 75-80mph.

It gets around 72F or 22C degrees where I live (if it matters)

Thank you very much!

Ilove driving on my HPI x-pattern in pro compound, grips really well. Although im not sure how they will do on fast speed runs.

D Compounds are for drifting and have absolutely no grip for normal driving.

I am sure the Advans would have decent grip however from what I hear most people blow their rubber tyres up from too much speed (I don't know at what speeds this becomes a problem) and hence people use foam tyres, which apparently grip way better, last about the same, and don't blow up from excessive speeds

Absolute rubbish.

i'd recommend any (belted) slick or radial by either HPI or Tamiya.
