Good street tires?
 

Looking for a good street tire for one of my "special" builds.

I have a few criteria to meet:

1. Must be no less than 5.75" tall

2. Must be able to be mounted to a rim that offers zero offset (such as a stock maxx wheel, hex size does not matter)

3. Must be able to handle speeds of 60+mph, I can/will tape and balance the tire, and use molded foams if available.

Ultimate grip is not that important, as I will most likely just be driving in a straight line. I would like a tire that does not wear too quickly...

Thanks guys!

Road Rages are bad. The 40 series are 5.75" tall.

I don't know which rim would offer 0 offset tho...

I have a set mounted that would need to be boiled off if you want them? I can bring them over one day soon.

Imex Road Dawgs?

I agree Road Rages suck, balloon bad and have a weak sidewall.

My buddy runs the Dirt Dawgs and they are lots less balloon prone than many out there. Not sure how they'd do over 40 mph tho.

You'd have a choice of compounds, soft and medium- he runs medium and they are super sticky- they have nice thick sidewalls and are wearing very well.

Those Imex Road hawgs are SUPER HEAVY.. I have a set and :surprised:

Any of these work? the largest is 150mm

I had the big parks, they were good on asphalt but heavy. Very well made with nice molded inserts.

What about the HPI Phalt Lines?

I like those GRP tires, they make such a realistic squeel when you break them loose :)

GRP and Phaltlines are only 5.5". Linc is looking for 5.75" tall....

Sure, they will give me something to go by... As far as a 0 offset 40 series wheel, there must be something like that out there. I am not really worried about the style. I have a buddy who is very good at getting tires off, he puts them in the oven...

These grp tires look interesting, and 140mm is very close to 5.5'', might work? Do they fit on a std MT wheel?

Yeah, they fit standard 3.2" MT rims.

... Definitely a tradeoff, which is why these co's need to quit screwing around and do a REAL RADIAL!!!!!!! ARE you LISTENING? I know there are people who would pay 1:1 prices even!

Yeah my bud's Dirt Dawgs have a very realistic low pitch howl, never heard a tone like it on an RC.... and they're not even the soft compound!

Losi 420 series Road Rash, comes with foam. Losi site doesn't give dimensions though.

I for damn sure aint paying $200 for one set of tires for my R/C....

Losi 420s will fit 40 series wheels if you don't want to run their 420 wheels (basically a 40 series wheel with a 20mm hex).
