1.9 Goodyear MT/R

[JatoTheRipper]

RC tires are already wide - often too wide. I wouldn't see why anybody would want wider tires.

Wider would be like monster truck tires...

Still hoping for a 4.3-4.4 version as both these sizes are too big for a few of my builds and the 4.19 is too small. Anyone got any info on why a second size so close to the 4.75?

I spotted this and thought it was an odd move. I too would like to see more 4.5" tires. Please, please, please! I do like the look of the 1.9 Iroks, but i feel they are also a little too wide at 47mm.

Ah, I'll read back a page...

I hear you guys, I think scale has gone cartoony. All the bigger tires make everything look like a monster truck to me.

Yeah, 4.5 would be max height I'd want, preferably 4.4 for me and several other people I have talked to.

The outer lug spacing looks better on the new 4.7” versions compared to the 4.75” ones.

I saw that too. I'm running 1.7's on my 1.9 rims for that same reason.

[GrimmTheTourist]

Yes. I would like to have more 4.5-4.6 tires. All those 4.75 are just too big for my taste.
And the 4.19 is also too big for my small tire rigs. More 3.9 tires too!

I almost orderd those new mtr because they are "just" 4.7 and then realised they are way too wide for my truck :-(.
Otherwise they look great tough.

The official specs put it at 4.7 x 1.87 whereas the other version is listed as 4.75 x 1.62, and it's apparently 8 grams heavier.

Shorter yet wider which is odd. But odder still is that they would go through all the trouble to make the same tire in slightly different dimensions...

Yeah I'm surprised they went through the trouble of doing a new mold just for such a minor change. I was hoping for more of a 4.3-4.5 offering based on that title.

Exactly what I was getting at. Qhy such subtle changes? Poor decision IMO. There are plenty of people who would buy a "mid sized" tire.

[smog]

THey widened and shortened the MTR?

That’s too bad. They are such a nice tire as they were

[GrimmTheTourist]

They have listed both. I guess you still will be able to buy the "old" mtr 4.75.

[M1tch]

I like my 1.9's, but at 4.19, they are a touch smaller than the stock Ascender tires. A 4.4-4.5 would be ideal and others here seem to think the same.. Why RC4d went for a slightly smaller, but wider is odd to me.

[DavinG]

I, too, was puzzled by the slight change in the new 4.7" tire so I contacted RC4WD to ensure this information was correct. They confirmed that the new tire is slightly shorter and a bit wider than the 4.75" tires. I'm running the 4.19" MT/Rs for the summer and looking for a taller winter tire - the 4.7" might be a good choice!

[M1tch]

Try the Gmade MT1904. I got them when I bought another Ascender for parts. It came with them amnd I prefer them to my Deep Woods in wet, rooty, leafy terrain. Theyt have a squarer profile with lugs that seem to grip better than the rounded Deep Woods profile.

So who's got a side by side pic of the 1.9 4.7 and 4.75 ?

I too would like to see a pic of them side by side.

Here’s a comparison of a stock TRX4 Bronco and a set of 4.19” MTR’s
