I agree on the overhype, however, the 1.9 KLR's on my M80 concept rig do work better than anything else I have tried on that rig. I have found that what works well on one of my rigs may not work as well on another. Weight and suspension geometry along with shock setup all affect the tire performance... on my rigs anyway...

The rig that I have them on is fairly light. I have tried a couple foam combinations on them and just havent ever thought "wow these tires are awesome". They do good but for the most part I think my TSL XLs on the same rig do better.

I know what you mean, I have tried several tires on my red baja bug but it does the best with the TSL XL's on it, so i just keep them on it now...

Nice. Local comp season starts in the fall so I should have plenty of time to get them broken in.

I hope they are as good as my 2.2 growlers in alien compound. That compound is amazing, even wet full of goop they still work better then I thought. I will be pre ordering today.

I have these tires in the 40 series and I'm not impressed at all. My Rok Lox smoke this tire in 40 series I don't run anything smaller than the 2.2 tires and my favorite in 2.2 is the JCONCEPTS Scorpios that are a 6 inch tall tire. That is a great compound tire.

Our 40series Rock Beasts arent Designed for Crawling, but for High Speed Handling and Race/Bash Applications, Its Made from a Completely different Rubber Compound that Is Intended to Handle the Bigger Power/Motor Combos in Monster Trucks and Yeti XL , Our 2.2 Tire Line Are Made from Our Stickier Compounds That Have No Problems With Keeping Ahead Of The Pack in Mulitple Situations, Again A Different Tire, The 1.9 XL Rock Beast We are Focusing This Thread On are on Another Level All Together
