|  best tire for hard packed dirt
Hey guys what is the best 1.9 tire to use on hard packed dirt? I do prefer a lower OD tire for scale look but can go taller if I have to. Thanks in advance |

Alot of Hard packed dirt hill climbs where I run close to my house and the best tires I have found is 1.9 TSL SX, (Small ones and XLs) R35 Ripsaws and Mud slingers (I have 1.55s and had a set of the small 1.9s old style harder compound) but the TSLs and Ripsaws with CI Foams Sidehill better. All of these had CI foams in them BTW. The Boggers/Mudslingers do best in a straight up climb but if the truck ever turns sideway then it will actually slide down the hill due to the Lateral Lugs. Also the Boggers/Mudslingers will wear ALOT faster than the TSLs and Ripsaws from my Experience. Ive also ran RockBeast and they do OK but not near as good as the others mentioned from my experience.

Don't most RC pullers use modified Tamiya TLT tires?

RC4WD actually has a 1.9 pulling tire but Im not sure what the rules allow for your class. Id like to build a puller but nobody around here does it and rules vary everywhere you go even for local crawling events.
