The weights made more of a difference than the tires. You want about 60% of the total weight of the truck on up front.

I have to agree it is whe weight in the wheels not the Tire's themselves. I just got my stock LNC last week and ran around the house (snow on the ground here). Just put 6 oz each front and 3 in each rear tonight and made all the difference in the world.

I like these a lot as well.. They add at least an extra inch of clearance over the stock tires and are a bit sticky as well. I also like the mixed foams from crawler creations!

Sodonas work well in dusty conditions, same as the Rovers.

Losi, there's a thread under Boss Claw foam tuning in the tire section. I did read that they didn't do too great in really dusty conditions. I've got a set and they do great everywhere once I got the foams right.
