You should search and read reviews on what people think...I'm pretty sure this question has been asked before too but i'm not positive...

There is only one sure way to see what is best for you, your truck setup and the type of terrain you crawl on, and that is to simply test. I know it is an expensive, time consuming route, but this question is asked over and over, and the variables are too great to get a definitive answer

The Losi Rock Claws have proven to be the tire to beat this year.

Rock Claws are basically the best all around rock tire. Moabs and Rock Lizards are just blown away. The Mashers are still quite venerable, especially in M3 form though. I'd still go with the claws.

I just bought a pair of moab 2.2, and they are GREAT. They have tread all the way down to the bead basicly, and the tread is super soft, and like superglue. Pulls my wk everywere, and it doesnt hurt your wallet =)

I like the rock claws. Also had luck with mashers run backwards and siped a little.
