Pitbulls first choice....which I want too...lol. I have the TSL's right now they are okay right now with my cheapy plastic Proline 8 Shooters.

I had flat irons but they are waaaaay too short of a tire and I sold them without even running them. I just mounted looked and said no!!

I don't need to become a tire collector just yet...hehehe. This hobby really is an addiction.

Hey you should have made your question a poll.

Not one of your choices but I am having a grand ol' time running my Baja Claws. Just the other day I had them up on my local mountain with rocks/roots/steep packed dirt inclines and it was icy and/or muddy depending on how much sun gets through and they just dominated the terrain the whole time. I am more and more impressed every time I run them.

Of the 3 you chose...the Pit Bulls are the winner. I'm torn b/t the Pit Bulls and the RC4WD IROK's.

Seen the rock beasts in action and they didn't make me want to run out and buy a set.

If those listed I'd go with the tsl's

Not listed and what I run are the rc4wd boggers cut. Rocks dirt mud sand the for it all awesomely.

Worst side hilling tire EVER. ;) drag your butt down here and I'll she you why and how they are better Evan. Those are some sick looking bloggers though. I cut up a set of rock crushers in a similar manner. They were vicious. The Pits would eat them alive though. They grip so much that you don't need to vent or cut them.

The could stand to have some better foams installed. I'm looking hard at the crawler innovations single stage over size foams for the boggers. Would have bought them last night but crawler innovations didn't over a PayPal check out option and I'd rather not give out my billing address and debit card number.


I've always liked your cut crushers they are baddass

Good lookin EB... Any more pics?

I have a set of flat irons and IMHO WAY too short of a tire. I just bash around and just the speed difference between stock and these was enough... Ordered a set of TSL s and liking them after a couple of quick runs.

I have pitbull 2s on my wraith they are pretty good, I do want to get some TSL super swampers they are just plain old sexy and from what I've read around the web pretty good tires. Be wary though proline tires have a fat bead so some wheels may not work.

I saw the tsl's and the pits' hit the same line on 2 different rigs back to back and the pits made the line look as if they were driving in a parking lot, the tsl's were good just on that line and rig not as good.

Thanks. I had a couple of decals left over from my bike. I was wondering if anyone would ever call me on that. There's a Campagnolo Decal on the top near the spare. LOL

Not the most recent picture, but you get the idea. I've had her up to 50MPH.
