Wheel and tire recommendations

[Dionisi]

So after getting my xl back up and refreshed from some broken parts I've got it running really good once again. Just one major issue,I'm on original rtr tires and wheels and although they have served me well they have really turned into bubblegum. Too soft and wobbly, not that they were stiff to begin with.

Question is what combo is everyone running that doesn't balloon to much on 6s. Again not looking for just speed runs but a mix with decent long life. Also even though I love badlands type tread, they just would never last on my truck. Pretty sure on ci foams but not sure on tire.

Gotta have CI foams no matter what combo.

Personally I went with RC4WD rock crushers and went with 4x3x26 regular firm foams, I have had no balloning issues going 60 mph. It has been a good all around tire for me that lasted 73 hours but that's because I bought them used, I'm on my 2nd pair now hopefully this one lasts just as long. I don't recommend the ci foams on these 8 1/4 tires it ballooned on me they are better used on tires that have 7 1/2 diameter or less.

Good to know. What are your guys feelings on beadlocks?

Just a basher here 6S only. I have been using the Pro Line F-11 wheels CI foams and RTR BFG tires and am very happy with em. Don't really see a need for beadlocks but to each his own. The F-11 wheels are strong the CI foams are the best and the RTR tires are cheap and work great for me in the dirt. Plenty of traction and not too much side bite to cause roll overs.
