These Tires on Pavement, Dirt, and Somewhat Grass? - 07.14.2009, 02:07 AM

Wanted to make sure they were worth the whole $25 bucks before I order em for my EMaxx or ESavage......

Anyone know how well they wear on pavement? Grass? Dirt?
Does anyone have em at ALL?

And the hex?

THANKSIES

Oopsies!

Theoretically they could last forever since they don't exist?

Either I fail miserably to see a link or you fail miserably at posting one

would be a little small on a maxx wouldn't they. Seems like someone else had a post saying they hard and wear very fast on pavement because they just spin and dissolve the spikes.

Why do you want to put buggy tires on the Emaxx besides the fact of those tires being so cheap.

They are for 1/8 scale buggy, There going to be awlfully small on the MT's ?
The rims are 17mm hubbed also.

i would recommend getting 1/8 truggy wheels if you are trying to get away from the wide face MT wheels.
They make the truck handle like a dream. Im running LPR crimefighters and love em....wouldnt run em on pavement tho.

As a rule of thumb, i dont run pin wheels on pavements....
You gotta give in some areas of performance. A allround good tire would be stock maxx or mashers. but oyu dont get the performance of truggy wheels.

I hear the truggy badlands are very hard thus making them suck on pavement.

ProLine brand Badlands are NOT hard, they are soft and hookup well on everything. They're not as good as AKA tires for racing, but they do just fine. I'll pickup a set for just messing around with my Mugen.

I wouldn't buy off brand tires. There's a reason ProLine and AKA are the go-to guys for tires.


:D

The offbrand badlands are what I was referring to.
