Which leaves me with an old set of 40 series crimefighters worn down to bare rubber, and another set of LPR Crimefighters. Neither were taped as I bought them mounted and they balloon like mad. The 40 series have been fixed so many times now they are out of balance and need to be stripped off the rims.
I really like the VTR style tire because the low profile keeps ballooning to a minimum, and when taped ballooning is eliminated almost entirely. The tire remains responsive to steering input and the truck doesn't get out of control from insane pizza cutter wheels.
But Proline doens't make a crossover tread, or on-road tire. And I'd hate to waste a set of VTRs like the calibers, holshots.

Yes. You can mount Duratrax truggy rubber on Proline VTR wheels and VTR rubber on Duratrax truggy wheels or you can get the wheels and tires both from Duratrax and treat them like budget VTR. I run VTR calibers on my Duratrax truggy wheels. They are the same style. Superior to LPR. And of course I understand all the reasons you bring up.
