your looking for a 2.2 sized tire for a wheely king. these 2 sites have 2.2 tires: http://www.imexrc.com/ http://www.pro-lineracing.com/proline.html i would recommend the pro line masher 2000, they are good on all terrain, expecially rock. proline moabs are awesome on rock, but suck if you get them wet, or sandy or muddy. good luck brandon http://www.rccarreviews.com |

Proline masher 2000's are the best 2.2 tire ever made.

If it's dry all the time - Moabs rule. If you just might run through even a little bit of water, Moabs suddenly suck for some reason - M2K's are way better when wet. You can't have just one set of tires... |

It really depends on what terrain you will be driving in. The Wheely King is build for 2.2's.

| I'm pretty sure he was joking.. i think you cant go wrong with moabs or mashers. just talk to some people in your area and see what type of tire works best on your local terrain. these are some really cool custom tires made with moab sidewalls and badland tread Last edited by revin9k; 04-10-2020 at 08:08 PM. |

Where are you crawling at? I've actually had decent luck with the stock tires at the lot where I've been beating on my rig |

Being a newbie bro, I did not realize that they were made. I am sorry my ignorance has brought you great enjoyment. I don't appreciate being insulted with the middle finger.

| Ive tried this it dont work well cuz of the difference in size . the rear wants to push the front . now the other way around works well cuz the taller front tires wants to pull . giving a clod-stall effect. tire opinion : Mashers |

Yea, the M2K's are a bit bigger in diameter than Moabs, it would look a little funny. I've got about an hour now on some brand new M2K's. Mount 'em backwards and they hook up real good. Quote:

i got a nylint that weighs about 15lbs good ol 12v anyways i used 2 sets of nylint wheels to make 1 set of wheels to mount my 40 series moab xls. they bolt on like normal with the same backspacing. and what a difference from before with the baja claws to now with these things! i had the xls on my stick clod with a star pattern foam cut which was perfect for the light clod. with nylint i narrowed the foam 3/4 of an inch and keep full foam other than that! and wiht the heavy nylint they flex and grab and fold like no other ive seen! thats my 2 cents |
