|  Scale Crawler Tire?
My Wraith is set up for strictly crawling. I am currently running HB White Dot Rovers. I have found them to be the best rock tire out there on any rig I've used. (IMO) The one thing I don't like about them is that they do not have a scale look whatsoever. I friend of mine runs R35 Ripsaws that have been cut and his rig does not come close to taking half of the lines I run with my Rovers. I've searched and searched for opinions on a better scale crawling tire. Everyone seems to swear by the Ripsaws. So my question is, are there any tires out there with a scale look that will perform as well as the Rovers? I know a lot of you are running the TSL Swampers. I checked them out at my LHS and they seem kinda hard. Any input would be appreciated. Perhaps I have to sacrifice the scale look for more performance?

I bought the RC4WD Interco Iroks and these tires are really soft and sticky...they are slightly taller than the ripsaws but they stick to anything I have put them on.  |

The x2ss compound Baja Claws work excellent on the rocks in my experience. Mine aren't even fully broken in yet and I love them, can't wait to get back out there in the spring.

running the proline tsl sx's. gotta say i like them a lot, but i ordered a set of pitbull rock beast II's to try them and see what all the hype is about for myself. my buddy runs them and they are impressive some of the shit he climbs up,i follow , but takes me a little more wheel speed to get up and over.

Sorry for the prolonged reply everyone. I ended up going with the TSL Swampers and love them! The rock beasts were just a little too tall for my liking. I think I have found a good replacement for the Rovers. Thank you all for your input.

I'm happy with my iroks. They seem to be sticky and perform well in all conditions but snow so far. They pack up easy.
