Need advice on wheel and tire choice!!! Working on building a super. I'm not sure if I want to run a Sedona or a rover tire though? I've seen both very commonly and am not sure how different the tire is versus a 2.2 sized tire? Should I stuff it with a similar foam setup to my 2.2 or is there some tricks you guys can give me to help me make a decision on foams and tires? I purchased a superbully roller that is coming with some sedonas on tech 5 wheels. From what I've seen, the tech 5 wheel is smaller than an hpi blast. So I'm assuming the tire will probably end up being somewhere in the 6.5"-7" range? I know it has 23 side lugs, but that's about all I know as of now! Do most people prefer a taller wheel/tire combo? Or will a 3.8" wheel and tire combo work just as well? I am obsessed with the hpi blast wheel! I know that I will end up building a set of narrowed blasts with a larger tire as well! I just don't know what tire I want to use though? Any and all thoughts and opinions are appreciated! Thanks Marc |

I switched from a 6.5" pro built rover to a 7" ted built sedona (both on 3.2 ytown wheels) and now on to narrowed blast wheels with a 8"+ rover. I think a set of rovers, sedonas, and pins would be best, but unless you have straight up Chavez money, IMO, Rovers are the best all around tire in any size. |

Your in SLC??? Did you bring your rigs? Appreciate the info guys! I truly feel that a rover is a better all around tire than any other. I think I will buy a set of blasts and rovers to build a 7.5" tire just for fun. I would imagine that our terrain will be more off camber stuff than ledges. |
[QUOTE=Chaotic Crawlers;3289295]Your in SLC??? Did you bring your rigs Nah wish I could've it's a 2 day job we Lvn today unfortunately But I'm hopin to make it to st George for the state champs deal It was awesome last year ! Randy |
Ok here is another tire question. Is it best to glue in some larger sidewalls like a trencher or Moab. Or can I just stretch the tire around the rim like I've seen in YouTube videos? Is there a positive or negative affect of either choice that you guys have seen? Thanks again! |
