I would choose the PL tsl's just because they work. The irok's are close, but I think have a harder rubber compound. No experience with the roc lox and as far as the baja claws go, they suck on 1:1's, can't imagine them working any better on an r/c.

Thx... or even those? :
Axial 2.2 BFG Krawler Tire

Axial 2.2 Maxxis Trepador in R35 Compound

Pit Bull 2.2 Rock Beast 2

Need mostly a medium/high speed tire but with good crawler/rocks capabilities... Will probably run CI Deuce's Wild Foams in it (waterproof and steady!)

Baja Claw TTC in x2ss compound have worked awesome on my Wraith. They have done everything I've asked of them and more. The tires/stock foams have softened up since they were new and I'm in the process upgrading to stiffer foams but am in no big hurry.

Different wheels now, but this is one of my favorite pics.

Don't know... Just wandering (or maybe is because i'm used to the rock beast 1 and never own rock beast 2 !?!)
Don't want them to "puff" (become really big) at high speed and don't know how they will handle sudden change of direction or tight turn?!? Maybe it's because i want a narrower tire...
But still, CI offer combo of those w/Deuce's Wild Foams...

Mostly hesitate between those 4:
RC4WD Interco "IROK Super Swamper" 2.2 (never own but read good feeback!)
Pro-Line Interco TSL SX Super Swamper G8 (had them before but can't remember if i liked them or not!)
Axial 2.2 BFG Krawler ( just because CI offer a great combo deal tire/foam!)
Axial 2.2 Maxxis Trepador in R35 Compound ( cause i like them on my 1.9 JK!)

Just want the best of both world: good handling speed and good grip for some trail/wood/rock bashing! (will not crawl with this rig, have enought xr10!)

I use the Rock Beasts II on my Stampede, running a 4 pole 3900kv brushless motor. They balloon, but after quite a bit of throttle. You can always strap the tires if you really want to stop the ballooning. Look up "how to strap RC tires" on YouTube.



That rig wheelies all over the place. Very grippy tires.

Do one wrap of duct tape on the foams to prevent ballooning.

Thanks bud. The tires are constantly rotated between the Pede and my SCX-10. It's almost like cheating, the SCX-10 plows over everything in it's path. The tires being so tall means massive clearance, plus the tires grip a ton. Win win. The COG is raised, but man, the ability your rig has to get over overything makes up for it.

I've had guys who run TSL's alongside rigs running Pitbulls. They both seem to be pretty equal in terms of performance. Can't go wrong with either, IMO.
