After their performance last weekend I would choose my narrowed Jumbo Swamp Dawgs if I could only have one set.
However I have not tried my KROCKS yet so we will see if that changes or not. I saw Pinchflat run a cut set and was impressed with the difference over the uncut tires.

I am with Griz on this one. I got to borrow a set of Jumbo Maxx Swap Dawgs, and for the crawlin and rocks I play on, they just worked.

Now if they were only a little taller......

I chose Giant Tracs, cause that's all I've tried. Well...I've used stock Clod tires, but I haven't cut them so they suck.

I haven't ran anything on my truck except the stock cut-up TXT-1 tires and Losi LST's. So far I am very pleased with the LST's. Other tires need to be cut, chopped or narrowed to work well, the LST's work right out of the box. No modifying neccessary. LST's get my vote.

I have ran my Jumbo swamp dawgs in 4 comps and they do well I just need to learn how to drive better LoL. I also just cut some krocks so I will have to see how they do but its a toss up for me I would say giant trac's because I have seen them used and they do so well. So the swampers, the krocks and the giant trac's would be my picks. But again if I only can pick one than the swampers.

I guess if you have no idea what you are talking about then you would come to the conclusion "LST tires are not that bad"

I cut my foam down the middle width wise. So my foams are now 2" wide instead of 4" wide.

I chose other cuz you didn't have a option for Jumbo Kongs I couldn't be happier with them. I was debating between thr Kongs or LST's. I mainly chose Kongs cuz they were cheaper. They do seem to need a little cuttin to be made to work real well in crawling. Now that they are cut-n-shut with a custom tread they work awesome. The LST's I felt at the LHS felt real soft and sticky. I know they will work good even in stock form. My son is wanting new treads for his maxx. I'm gonna get him a set of LST's.

IMHO a guy can't go wrong with either Kongs (if he doesn't mind doing a little work to them) or a set of LST's. Still yet though,if I had to pick one tire,it would still be the Kong.
