Rubber for R/C car tires

[drkucho]

Hello, im starting a new R/C company and my first product will be a off-road tire, it needs to have very good grip on the rocks and dirt , i find out that other companies are using a very soft compound that they call "M2"

my question to the pros here is , that M2 compound sounds familiar to you? or should i think it is just a comercial name to their secret compound?

any tips about what kind of tire should be my best bet? it needs to be soft and sticky.

thank you very much in advance

My guess is bromobutyl. I know this compound use to be used in RC car tires.
