Default Flat Irons or Bad Lands

Ok when I got my WK it came with these tires that look like they came off of a T-Maxx. I found some Berg 2.2 bead locks and now trying to figure out which tire would be better. I live in Florida, so not much snow here…lol… I see a lot of guys running both the bad lands and the flat irons. Now from what I can see, correct me if I am wrong since I am new to this, the bad lands would seem to be a better choice since the tread looks like fingers. Seems this would be good on the rocks. The flat irons remind me of a paddle boat, seems they would be good on sand and slick rocks. Is this correct or am I totally off base. Thanks!!

They are both great tires. It might come down to which tire you think looks better or what tire would look better on your rig. If your going for a scale look then I would go for the flat irons because they look more like a real truck tires would.

I run Flat Irons, they work great, especialy on smooth rocks. And badlands arn't "bad" either.

Losi claws , Panthers cougars , HB rovers , Proline chisels. 100 times better than Flat irons (scale tire) or badlands ( dirt bike tire). Ive ran them all. And they do come close in performance. Use what wins you wont regret it.
