Default New RC4WD Krypton 1.9

It looks like a pretty gnarly tire.

Look pretty cool. Kinda remind me of the SDI trail doctors.

EDIT: talking about the 2nd link.

You're right. Although, I haven't heard much about the Genius tire company. A few rockbouncers have been starting to use a tire from them that look like an oversized 4wheeler/RZR tire.

If I'm thinking correctly, I think I saw a couple new 2.2 options.

Ah, I know what happened. On the home page, the 2.2 Mud Basher and the single tire Mud Basher are right next to each other. My eyes skimmed over the single tire picture and somehow made me think it was another tire. My bad for getting your hopes up, Shane!

IMO the Krypton tire looks a little cartoonish, maybe something you'd find on a toy store RC.

Now the Genius tire looks like a nice viable option for Class 1 tire, especially with the new compound.

They match the penis lugs of the full size versions perfectly.

Hmm could be.....I still think the scale version is way over the top with the exaggerated lugs...not a fan. Just an opinion though.

You have to remember the scale of our rigs, power put through them and compound these tires compared to full size stuff! If they'd make them true to scale they'd probably wear out on the first outing!
