Default Best 1.9 scale tire for wet smooth rocks?

Whats everybodies opinion on the best scale crawling tire to run on wet smooth river rocks? I have some 1.9 rok lox and they suck on this kinda rock. They were so bad this past week that my truck took a dive couple times in the water. They are awesome on dry rock though dont get me wrong.

U know where my vote stands, hawaiian. Though, if you're not worried about being Class legal, my reduced 2.2 Hammers work pretty damn well too. Buggah is wide but.

Pit Bull's are the only tire that I have found actually seem to get increased traction when wet, they are great treads for sure.

Any of the X2ss compound RC4wd tires work good on wet rocks too in my experience. Gives you more options for what YOU might like and for different height/width options.
