Something close to the Jeepspeed General Tires?

I'd like to do a Jeepspeed build once the Axial SCX10II kits are back in stock.
Has anyone found a 1.9 tire with a simular profile and tread pattern as the General Tires used in 1:1 Jeepspeed rigs?

At least not from any decent manufacturers. The only thing I've seen is some no-name tire on ebay, but it is for short course trucks (2.2"/3.0" wheels). I'm not super familiar with Jeepspeed. Google Image makes it seem like everyone runs General. Is this a rule? If not, I think the most appropriate tire would be the Proline 1.9 Baja T/A KR2. Obviously, it's not the same tire you are looking for, but it is reasonable (if not a great choice) for this style of racing. Also the RC4WD Dune T/A would look cool, but it's not the best tire and it is 2.2.

Hey thanks for the response. I'm not sure if they're required to run those tires or if it's what everybody likes. I figured finding something accurate was unlikely, otherwise one of the expert builders who have done Jeepspeeds off the SCX10 would have found them.

I think that RC4WD Dune is going to get me as close as possible. Thanks for finding that. I appreciate it!

General Tire sponsors Jeepspeed, that's why you see them all with Grabbers. However, no scale General tires exist yet.
