rock claws!!! if your looking for a taller tire go with the grabber or rover i wouldnt use a flat iron My losi tires will kill them any day of the week and the stock creeper tires " rigelines" i hear are worse than a flat iron and axial rock lizzard. i have had great luck with all losi tires and realy long wear with the rock claws

the rovers are a very good tire imo, but are not at all scale. i ran them on my cr01 for some time and they were great however the way i had the suspension i had to trim the sh*t out of the fenders. but they are a good tire i recently switched to these foams and they do alot better than the stock foams imo. .. .

i have also read that people are having great results with this foam in the rover. .. .

The flatirons come in both 1.9 and 2.2. They are a nice scale looking tire - I am running them right now, they hook up pretty well IMO.

If you want to see what they look like in action - you can check out my thread here: Testing new suspension setup - warning - lots of pictures!

The Rock Claws just don't look scale to me - I am sure that they climb great though.

I am running Flat Irons on my CR. They work GREAT ... I have 3.5ozs of lead in all four corners with Axial stock beadlocks.
