Default Anyone make a good 1.9 3.35" tire?

Only option right now is to use the RC4WD 1.7 Milestars and they're really too narrow for a 1.9" wheel and they look kind of dumb stretched over the wheel.

Been looking for a couple days now and have come up empty.

Actually, that looks pretty realistic except for the bead not being properly seated.

And it's almost impossible to get it seated properly because the rubber's so soft that stretching it over the 1.9" wheel pulls it out of the beadlock ring.

That's one of the reasons I'm looking for an actual 1.9" tire. That size is perfect, I'd just prefer something that actually had a 1.9" ID instead of a 1.7" ID stretched over a 1.9" wheel.

I'd have to show it from the front but the sidewalls have almost no support and the tire doesn't center on the wheel. It's very awkward.

The smallest good 1.9 I know is the RC4WD Duratracs but they are 3.8 inches.

MST has some 3.5 inch 1.9s they include with the CMX/CFX kits that look pretty good but don't offer any performance. Tamiya probably has some 1.9s smaller than that but will have all the softness of granite.

You'd probably get the look you want if you went down to 1.55 or 1.7" wheels, but I'm not sure if a 3.35" tire is offered for those wheels either. And I know you already have the wheels and you may not even be able to find this style in other sizes so you're tired. Dezertdirt's post is a good one and I can't give you anymore help than that, sadly.

Boom Racing makes a pretty small 1.9 tire.

x2: Those Boom Racings are tiny for a 1.9.
In comparison to one of the smallest 1.55s, the Baja MTZs, a 1.55 Desert King (discontinued) or a Pitbull Growler 1.55. Especially widthwise.

The MSTs look perfect. Thanks for that tip. I see they're offered in a soft compound too so that might be what I'm looking for.

I'm going to try to get the Milestars to sit on the wheels right one more time before ordering a different set of tires. At 3.35" they really are perfect but I don't think going up a little bit to 3.5" would effect that stock stance too much.

I love those Boom Racing Trophy tires, but they are super-narrow, best suited for the Boom Racing 1.9 Narrow 21mm Badass Classic 16-Hole Steelie wheels.

I currently have the wheels with a set of Choodoo tires mounted up, but I'm moving those tires to my SSD steel spokers and ordering a set of those Mud Terrain Trophy tires at some point.

Boom Racing even makes closed-cell inserts for them!

KillerBody 3.35" tires on 1.9s.

They're designed for the Boom Racing 1.68" wheels.

1.02" X 3.35"





Liking these so far! They're not as soft as the Patagonias but they're significantly stiffer and don't just straight-up deform under the weight of the truck.
