Default PROLINE Dirt Works

Anybody tried these tyres?

They're kinda like badlands, but tread is a bit tighter.

they are more for bashing, and they dont have the sticky-soft compound for crawling.

I haven't tried those but I noticed Losi has a new tire from their new stadium truck that looks like that except even better.

I have a set and I narrowed them and left them at 2.2's and I also cut off every other lug on the inside and outside of each tire. I also put a ver small amount of foam in each wheel which gives the tires sidewall flex and allows the ehtire footprint of the tire to touch the ground. They work fine for me for crawling and bashing.

i saw these in the new tower pro mailer i got yesterday, and was wondering about these also. they look like a pretty good tread design.

I run them on my scalers, they hook up real good on wet/dry rock, not so good in the clay mud.

I like them alot when they have been narrowed and sectioned to 1.9. They make a good all around scale tire, and they come in M2 compound.
