Savage owners, lets see your tires! - 05.21.2009, 02:14 AM

Ok, i'm in the process of finalizing my tire/rim upgrades for my Savage Flux once my stock ones get worn out or just get boring. I"ve settled on sticking with the stock MT size and forgo the stress that 40 series tires will probably cause me. That being said, im gonna be using Maximizers 3.2" White 1/2' offset Beadlock rims and now I need to decide on what tire to slap on their. My Flux will being basically going EVERYWHERE on ANY terrain. From concrete, sand, rocks, dirt, grass, soil, thick weeds basically anything that mother earth can throw at it, so I gotta decide on something versatile but gives me plenty of bite in loose stuff but its also gotta LOOK good in my eyes so I need to see what other peeps are running Savages and preferably Flux's if possible.

Please only post IF YOU HAVE PICS of your tire setups on SAVAGES ONLY. No Revo's/T-Maxxs/LST's. Thank you!

Maximizer 1/2" offset and HPI tire, the 17mm hub have turning in maximizer rim and scrap this ! after that i have reinstall the original rim with this new tire on back for more traction. The maximizer rim are too heavy compare to stock the result are less HP to the wheel.
