Default HB Rover 2.2 tires

I am thinking of getting a set of these for my Wraith. However I can`t decide which compound to get.

Pink Dot - X Soft
Red Dot - Soft
White dot - Medium
Blue Dot - Hard

I will only be crawling with them so I want as much traction as possible. Is the Pink too soft you think?

What temperatures are normal in your area ?
Where I live 90 is normal , 70 is cold. I’ve found tires too soft here.


Hang up and Drive

They don't make red dot in 2.2. Pink is to soft, blue to hard, white is the best out of the colors. If they made a red dot in 2.2, that would be the best tire ever made, lol.

You don't want the pink dot. The idea is there, but the execution was off.

Good luck finding a set.... It's not something you can just jump online and order. At least not the Whites which is all you'd want anyway.

Pink isn't terrible but they take some work to be use able. Lots of shaving and whatnot to get the carcass free'd up. They used a good sticky compound then made the sidewalls too thick to take advantage of it. Whats funny is they are narrower than sedonas even though they're supposed to be the fat tires.

White dot rovers are good down to about 60*, anything colder and they just spin. They are out there on the used market but nkt new at this time.

Blue dot is good above 95* or so. They're hard so once warm they free up and grip.
