Help me pick please - experience is a plus.
 

Time for the scaler to get some meats on her. I have a bit of an issue though and can only afford 2 sets (8 tires) in a single shot. I am building a 1.9" scaler. I want the look but I also want the performance. My favorite options are:

Rock Crushers
Trail Doctors XL Super Softs
Trail Doctors Super Softs

The Trail Doctors are linked to the Ultra softs but I am too lazy to change the links. But, that brings up the good questions.

Do I want a super soft tire or a medium compound?
The XL's are 13mm taller than the standard - do I want the height?
The Rock Crushers are 4.25" tall.

I have heard that the Rock crushers are crap on the trails but they look so damn good. The Trail Doctors I have heard are the bomb but are smaller and less scale. I like the look of real TSL Swampers, but would never put them on my real 1:1 Jeep or a scaler unless they are worth it.

So tell me all, I am kind of convinced on the Rock Crushers for looks. I definitely want performance though and the Trail Doctors seem to be better. If i have missed some great tires please tell me. I am all about learning and insights.

Thanks all!

Trail Doc XL's. They do look good. Better than the crushers IMO due to the tread depth. You will never see a 1:1 tire with lugs as tall as the crushers :ror:

Are those the super soft XL's then or the Ultra soft XL's or the soft Xl's? Badass pic by the way!

Is SDI's site only per tire or is there another vendor here or out there?

I concur with Nluv"thumbsup", trail doctors xl, for looks and performance, i had several set of slingers and went with trail docs, and the difference was night and day in performance8)

The toyota is running the hardest compound XL's (its heavier) and the blazer has the middle compound. I would go with the hardest if you are going to drive it a lot. These tires wear pretty fast.

8 hours on the blazer and all the outer lugs were round :ror:

RPP Hobby carries them.

I voted for the Trail Docs. XL softies....
Good luck on your build;-)

Trail Doc XL's are the cat's meow...

Yup that's the tire for looks and preformance. XL softs for me.

Wow, I guess that settles that then, lol. Trail Doctor's it will be. Thank you all for the input and responses. I knew that would be the result.
