That's because you are in GORGEOUS Hawaii, you know, that "other" part of the US.

You are paying $20 in shipping in return for living in paradise.

Speaking about non-crawling, but still useful off-road tires:

(ok this was a big image sorry..)

(since I am quoting your post, I decided to swap out your pic for a smaller version)

RC4WD used to have a 2.2" unlicensed model of that tire called the Dune T/A - here's a thread I made about getting them to work fairly well on a heavy rig: DIY half-assed dual-stage foams

HPI also had a similar tire called the Mini Trophy, I believe they were 1.9", for their Mini Trophy truck.

See this thread: 1.9 Baja racing tires?

There are STILL some of each floating around eBay and other places.

Those look pretty good, they would be great for doing a bigger wheel.

Yeah, doesn’t even feel like I’m in the US over here. Used to being in the Southern Indiana corn fields.

Maybe I need to live in Hawaii for a while so when I come back to Indiana 10$ shipping charges don’t make me second guess a purchase lol

Where’s the 1.55 Mud Grapplers? Trail grapplers?

I would love to see some old school Mickey Thompson Baja Belt tires

https://www.shapeways.com/product/69...elt-tires-rims

Obviously this link from shapeways for 3D printing, so maybe it's possible to find something to print in rubber, just don't know how well that would stand up to crawling.

I noticed you bought 2.2" Grapplers - MST actually makes those in a 1.9", they are right at 4.7' tall - here's my set mounted on some LURC Trail Ready's:

Hey thanks for looking out durok!

I bought the cheap 2.2s off Amazon so i could try my hand at cut n shut tires so in case I mess up I only spent $20 on them rather than $50.

Those MSTs do look better, larger lug spacing than the knockoffs. If I do these successfully, I’ll probably pick up a set of those

These would be awesome to have in 1/10 scale. They are on a 1/24, can’t think of the brand right now but they are definitely modeled after the Gladiator X Comp MTs

Great catch!

In the US those are sold under the Duratrax name - the Scaler CR model:

[ScaleLifeNewbie]

Yeah kinda but if someone were to see them you wouldn’t think that it’s a Gladiator

The taller version with white letters on one side has a slightly different tread - but still not exact. Just throwing ideas out there, ya know...

Why are all our tire options so nice and new looking, why can't we get some po boy specials, like the inner shoulders bald, maybe a bubble in the sidewall, plugs in the tread etc.
Not all of us can afford new tires, but I'd budget new old looking tires

You can do all of that yourself. I've seen builders sanding their brand new tires to look worn. I'll never do that. Buying a set of tires is a rare event for me

Doing it yourself is so 15 years ago, I want to buy it RTG!
Tire selection these days are amazing though.
Just to play along, I'd love to see the OG MT Baja Belted. Imex made one back in the day but I think only in Clod size.
