The HPI tires have thin sidewalls. My stock Flux tires are pretty much shot, I have torn the sidewalls of two of them. and they flex ALOT, kind of like a drag tire, aka wrinkle walls. I beleive this is part of why a stock flux pulls wheelies on demand at anything under 1/2 throttle

Oh crap! That doesn´t sound too good....Time will tell if they are holding up...

I like the way they handles, I have driven a truck with Gt2´s, I like them for the air controll and because they are fat and sucks up those bad landings

About them being like a drag tire, look at this vid at 2.57! They showes it zoomed around 3.05! Crazy twisting!
