Tires,, best of the best ?
 

I believe this is my first post on here so here we go......

I have a 1/10 build goin on (top secret), and im searchin for some super sticky soft compound 2.2 tires. I love the look of the BFG immitations but people have said the lugs are too close and there not that soft,,, then i was looking into the claws, mickey thomson baja claws that is, but i couldnt get much reviews to make a decision.
Then i found these.......and by the looks of them,,, they look very promising so im throwin up this post to see if anyone is running these tires............................................. ........

If not then what would u guys reccomend to a newbie here?? Well,, im not really a newbie,, im just picking up the hobby again from where i left off as a kid,,,,,, mostly cause my son is now growing into it as well.

I dont care if i have to hack em up cause im good at that,, i just want a good soft tire that grabs and pulls like no other!!

*Note* i run baja claws bias plys on my jeep XJ so i do like the RC version!!

i would reccomend the losi claws. if you search for them u can find reviews on them on here. i just dont know how to do links

I will see your Losi claws, and raise you a Panther recommendation.;-)

the tires that I have currently seen do well are-
Hotbodies Rovers
HPI Rock Grabbers
Panthers
Losi Claws
Losi Carvers
also, the Proline Chisels have just recently been released and look promising

The biggest difference between these tires is that the Losi's are fairly low profile compared to the rest which are around 5.5 inches tall

Hope this helps"thumbsup"

Rovers are the up and coming tire in my opinion. They are kind of like "silent but deadly" I'm noticing that more and more comp rigs on the forum are running them. You said that you want a tire that can grab and pull, then from my experience with the rovers, they fit your need.

Im seriously thinkin about gettin these...........

((they dont look like they need a single bit of trimming/sipin))

.............But i really like these BFG's,, and with some trimming,, they could be good to,,,,,,,,,,,

All opinions are welcome and appreciated!!! Especially those of the people that are running these tires!!!!!!!!!!

It really depends on what you want in a crawler. Do you want best performance, or most realistic? Performance wise the HPIs are your best bet.

Thank you very much,, i copied and pasted every tire you put in ur reply!!! Im leaning heavy on the HPI's,,, still need to do more research.

You guys are great so far!!!

lmao! i know the panthers are better. but he said he wanted something resembling mickey thompson claws. the losi claws look more like them so....

AHH HAH! I WIN. lol
you have to read!"thumbsup"

I swapped my stock scorpion tires for Losi Rock Claws in front and Panthers in back. I can't compare them to other aftermarket tires since they are my first but I feel like I have more than got my money's worth"thumbsup"

claws
 

losi claws spanked my proline hammers today,,,, but i will try the hot boddies rovers and get back to you:idea:

i like my proline hammers i have yet to find something i dont like about them. and they rate pretty good in the cralwer rc mag i was looking at the other day, they were right under the losi claws.
