Question: When is a solid or pearl better than a hybrid?

Answer:

Choose a solid when you need earlier traction on heavier oil. Choose a pearl when you need more length and a sharper backend on medium to drier lanes. A hybrid is often the piece you start with and stay with as the pair transitions.
