| 5.5" tall crawler tires
Hi there, I am looking to buy a set of 5.5" crawler tires for my Wraith. The only ones I see out there for a 2.2 wheel are the Ripsaws and the Hot Boddies Rover Crawler and the TSL SX 's. i really love Mud Slingers but dont see them 5.5" tall.Does anyone know of another brand that is 5.5" tall? Also looking to buy some slightly used if you have any? Thanks Last edited by Stan3535; 02-04-2012 at 10:23 AM. Reason: Left something out |

These are larger tires than the Proline TSL's and Rok Lox. Both of these are around 5.75" tall but look pretty badass on a Wraith. Mickey Thompson 2.2 Baja Claw TTC Scale Tires (pair) Interco Super Swamper 2.2 TSL/Bogger Scale Tire |

And the search button is an even better friend And you shouldn't be asking to buy tires here. Put an ad up in the wanted section.

Anyone have any opinions on these tires for a Wraith? Are the soft Crushers just a good looking tire lacking performance? Thanks | |

Huh I think that's when they came out with the x3 compound. I really doubt it's the new x2. Pretty sure there would've been something on rc4wd's site. But if you really want them, they're cheaper at rc4wd's site.

I have the mt claws on my wraith and they work great. I cut the large lugs into three small lugs and the smaller lugs in half. Then mount them backwards and you will be set. When you mount them backwards they just grab everything and pull your wraith up hills. My wraith is in the picture area check it out.

My 1.9 Hilux High Lift - Midwest RCC But I think I am slowly leaning towards the Mt Claws. I like the 5.75" height but just wish they had more sidewall tread. | |

Those looked nice. I like the claws mounted backwards because they just claw themselves up hills. It would be nice to see how those others work but the shape of the claws just pull themselves up.
