|  Best tires??
I need to know what kind of tire is best for rock crawling with the emaxx, without needing to be narrowed or anything (no kongs niehter, i hate them) I need good ride height too, i keep bottoming out. BTW i want them to be cheap if possible |

The perfect tire for cheap? Dream on sucka'   The stock Savage tires fit Maxx wheels and have worked real good for me. Look cool, 6" tall and very soft rubber compound.  Associated MGT (BFT) tires work great too. 7" tall, soft rubber compund, and fit Maxx wheels. Hate the tractor tread pattern but they work. |

Annybody know what happened to those losi truck tires? those things looked great. I think those would be best. and to anwser your question. It all depends on what you run on, do you need under diff clearance, or traction.

BFT's are real good. I think the Losi tires will need to be narrowed for sure but they will be real cool. You hate the Kongs because they RULE!!!!!! 8O  |

Now no digler, Just because everyone doesn't have the heart to cut kongs and make them worth. doesn't mean you have to go and flip them off. |

Oh. You meant the BFT tires. The maxx tires are 5.5 inches. The BFT's are 6 7/8th About and inch and a half, which gives you .75 inchs more clearance. They are great tires. I use them on my Tight Squeez truck on TXT wheels. |

Why? Wuts rong with them? Wuts so much better about the bft's? One thing i like about the swamp dawgs is they're cheaper and look cool, and they're soft!

actually, swamps are harder compund than my bft's were. yes they looked cooler, but they really sucked on the rocks. Trust me, you will regret it.
