Default What 1.9 tire for loose gravel/dirt/rocks?

what tire would you recommend for loose dirt,gravel and rocks?
Its gonna be on a scx 10. I have flat irons and dick cepek mud country.
But none of them are very good at loose grounds.The flat irons is the better one on sand and dirt and cepek tires are better on rocks.

I only have one criteria, and that is that I dont want them to be any higher than the flat irons and not any lower than the dick cepek tires.

You know the that one button that people talk about? I think it's called the search button??? Ya I'm pretty sure it is lol ya it's the coolest thing ever lol

Seriously though, there have been like 5 threads about this exact thing, but idk you threw out a lot of options by wanting it in between the Fi and the Dc, try the the tomahawk

Proline TSL-SX About the same height as the Flat Iron. Works fantastic on the rocks and I've found pretty good in the dirt too.. Needs a bit of wheelspeed to clean out but then again don't most tires?

think that pretty much blows out his requirement of no taller than the 1.9 flat iron (4").

This is a cut n shut tire, but a 1.9 narrowed and reduced Panther Cobra works awesome in loose gravel, dirt and rocks.

Here is an example:



The tire on the far right would be my recommendation.

Thanks for tips guys.I really liked those panther cobra tires, they look awesome!
But this is a tire that comes like the one to the left? and needs to be cut and glued together again, am I right?

Yes, the Panther Cobra must be made. It comes as a 2.2 tire pictured on the far left in that picture.
