The Nylint tires are too hard for crawling IMO.

Too hard for how little the WK is compared to a Nylint. But really - I think you'd be better off getting a decent set of 2.2 tires that fit the WK. I'm going to be getting a set of Mashers or Geolanders.... or both.

I would go with one of the proven 2.2 tires by Pro-Line, Losi, or Axial. My personal favorites to date are the Pro-Line Masher 2000's, but I don't have a lot of time on the Losi Rock Clawz and they seem to be THE tire for competitive rock crawling.

Thanks for the info. I tryed them any way and they dont seam to do all that bad other than it makes it really top heavy and it looks funny. but over all they do better than the stock crap.
