| 1.9 vs 2.2
I live in a place surrounded by mountains. Most places I crawl are loose rock pretty big in size. Would 2.2 or 1.9 be better? I currently have both I just need to know which would fit my situation. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk |

Do you have em both mounted? Maybe take em both out for a rip with ya, easy swap at that point. I have a set of 2.2s I used for one run last winter, just not my thing personally, I run trail trucks exclusively though. |

2.2" wheeled tires are generally taller than 1.9" wheeled tires. There are exceptions in the Rc world of course, the Proline bogger being the most obvious. That said a taller tire will roll over a obstacle easier than a shorter one. It also gives you more diff clearance and better approach and departure angles. The downside is the higher cg, clearence issues with turning and suspension. My 1.9" boggers on my Bronco. And 2.2 Tsl's on the same truck. |

There are so many sizes of 1.9 and 2.2 tires available today you can get some 2.2s that are actually smaller OD than the largest OD 1.9s. Generally, 2.2s are wider than 1.9s if you're looking for a wide tire. If you're looking for performance rather looks, the choice is based on what seems to work best in the areas you crawl/trail at. As example, looking at lonelycreeper's SCX10 pictures, it would be hard to tell from the pics the 2 tires are different. |

| Re: 1.9 vs 2.2 https://scaleoffroading.com/scale-tire-finder - This can help you get a sense of how big your current tires are, vs various 2.2s The mentioned boggers are: Height: 5.4" - which is nearly as big as a lot of 2.2s, and bigger than some |

| Re: 1.9 vs 2.2 Knuckle weights/brass knuckles are one of the best options, along with axle tubes for plastic axles.

Personally I find 1.9 tires more fun on my scx10. Simply because it's easier to find challenging obstacles.. more to choose from. Also because of the centre of gravity. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk |
