| Tallest 1.9 Scaler tire
I want a 1.9 that works well on rocks. I have the Proline flat Irons which are just ok on the rocks and stock Axial RipSaws which are a bit better, they are both a little over 4" tall. I like the looks of the Pit Bull Rock Beasts at 4.4". Is there any others that I'm overlooking that's 4.4" or taller? I like the extra clearance that the taller tires provide. I also run a set of Axial 2.2 ripsaws on my monster truck days. |

I'm glad someone put this thread up, I have Tsl sx super swampers and they're a great tire but are just a little too small.

The Baja Claws look great, who has used them on the rocks? I've heard people having to cut every other knob to make these work.

I have Super Swamper Boggers and they are a great looking tire. I cut them (at least 2 threads on it on this site) and they worked better. Then I bought Pitbulls. Man are these ever the best performing tire ever. The super soft sidewalls and compound just make them conform to a surface and GRIP!! I have a video on my YouTube channel, just type in: "Testing 1.9 Pitbulls on an ice hill" Makes it a whole new rig, for sure. |

the 1.9 boggers are taller than the 1.9 iroks and Claws Interco Super Swamper 1.9 TSL/Bogger Scale Tire but they are also a harder compound and narrower than the Iroks and Claws. |

The Trepadors that come with the Wrangler Unlimited sit at 4.6". I was pleasantly surprised at their performance in the rocks vs my previous Pitbull tires (one of the smaller 1.9 tires).

I ordered the pitbull Rock Beasts. 4.4" tall should be good and they sound like a great tire
