I only use my Wraith and XR10 for crawling. Can someone tell me which tires are good on sandy rocks?

Rovers are good. Sedona's are good. And if ground clearance isn't an issue panter cougars are good.

Great! Just checked the website, Rovers have white soft and blue firm, do you know the differences on performance between these two?

chisels is also a good choice i think.the difference between them is that one is softer and one is firmer,depending the surface you are running,you have the choice to choose the compound

I have always ran the white dots, (soft) and have no regrets with them. IMO they are a great tire.

White dot ripsaws are pretty sticky.

Thanks guy! I am using the white dot ripsaw now, they were sticky when new but once covered with sand dust the stickiness reduced a lot. I am not sure if Rover, Sedona and others are all having the same behaviour. That's why I specified my question to be used on sandy rocks.

Look at the badlands. I've ran them on buggy and the rock. I may get a set for my wraith.

Badlands work good on turtle speed crawling as well?

I went to the shop today trying to buy the HB Rover white dot, they introduce me to a new Rover EX (pink) and said they are even softer and even better than the white especially on sand rocks and wet rocks. I am wondering if anyone have any experience on this new HB product and like to get some advice before making the decision. Thanks in advance!

Oh! Sorry For the trouble! I got the answer now from seeing previous discussion. White dot is better than EX. Will go for the White. Millions of thanks!!!
