| Re: what tires and foams are we using
there is no cut and dry answer for you. My answer is a selection of different tires and as far as foams go....crawler innovations is the only foam for me. I am upgrading all my tires to them. I have multiple types of tires for different situations. I have found that no single tire is the best at everything, so I use whatever ones work best for the type of terrain I will be going on. I will be getting a set of pitbull rockbeast 2 tires soon to compare them to the iroks (so far the iroks have been the best multiple terrain tire for me) these are my results for my terrain here in my area. yours may differ I have these sets: 1. superswamper Iroks-CI Deuces wild foams-very capable all around setup for all types of terrain 2. superswamper TSL SX-stock foams-typical trail running tire-does well with loose dirt and mud-not too bad on the rocks 3. proline hammers-memory foams-good loose dirt and mud/snow performance-better than average on rocks 4. HB white dot rovers-stock foams-good loose dirt and mud performance-very good in snow-a bit better than hammers on rocks 5. rc4wd rock and dies-stock foams-good on trail running-does well in loose dirt-not so well in mud/snow-decent performance on rocks 6. proline flat irons-memory foams-very good trail running-loose dirt-not so well in mud/snow-average performance on rocks 7. losi rock claws-stock foams-good trail running-loose dirt-mud/snow-good performance on rocks 8. axial ripsaws-stock foams-better than average on all types of terrain-more capable than the flat irons and rock and dies-my go to backup tire if I need dependable performance and the Iroks are being used on my other rig Last edited by allanon1965; 03-03-2014 at 08:13 AM. |

Pb rb2 w/ci 2stage foams are good all-around tire/foam combo

I really like proline Badlands. Ok on rocks, excellent everywhere else, and I love the aggressive motocross style look.

I run the RC4WD 2.2 Iroks and C.I. soft single stage foams with the tuning rings in the rear. They are an awesome combo and the tires seem to keep getting better and better the more they're used. I've had them on for over a year now and they are holding up great. I might get a new set of Iroks for it before I go up to Axialfest.

The axial R35 Ripsaw tires with stock foams are great all around tires! You can spend money on aftermarket foams or you can run the stock foams and they perform just fine! I run "Rippers" on my rigs and they just work! One day, when I hit the lottery, maybe I'll buy something else but for now - they work great for me |

I also agree about the ripsaw, good tire in all condition, just not as scale as the TSL Swampers!

+1 on the r35 ripsaws. I did find the stock foams way to soft for side hilling as I found the sidewalls folding under and ride on the rim. CI double dues foams with a comp cut fixed that!
