Default Tire/Wheel Combos

I was looking at possible Tire/Wheel Combos to play with. I am sure some Wheels/Tires rub..or are too wide and such. What Wheels and Tires have worked and not worked? be it 1.55 or 1.9.....

I see a lot of guys running the 1.7 interco tires which I think I might snag.
Here is what I've been using.
Rc4wd rock creepers 1.9 and also Rc4wd prowler xs tires.
The creepers are really soft, an the prowlers a little more stiff. But the prowlers resemble a Mickey Thompson Baja claw tread pattern and are only 3.78" tall
The creepers are nearly the same at 3.8" tall.

No rubbing issues as they are almost the same size as the 1.55 standard mud thrashers.

Here are the prowlers


The creepers

Maybe try reading the threads that are in this section and see what everyone is using. In my thread I've ran a few options. Find the tire you like and ask about it in that thread, the people who go to all the trouble to do those threads , are more than welcome to answer any question, thats why they do it.

If people would read and ask in the threads, others would see the same question they were wanting and see the answer and THEN we wouldn't have a bunch of threads that are asking same questions.

This is not a bash ,but as you can see by how many answers you have got so far. I trying to help you find the answers you want quicker.

Love,
Rockedup Ricky

I wasn't bashing you ,really.

A tire bigger than 4.2 is going to rub alittle no matter what wheel you use. Thats with the wide spacers too.

Out of all the combos I tried, I like this set up the best,Mickey Thompson 1.9 Baja Claw 4.19" Scale Tires, Advanced X2 SS Compound (Super Soft & Super Sticky)
Dick Cepek Torque 1.9" Internal Beadlock Wheels .
Crawler Innovations 2 stage foams in the front and rear.

Here's a video to see how they work.
