Default Hyrax Predator VS Trencher Predator

I have order new Hyrax Predators to one of my Crawlers

I did also order one more new Crawler.
These will Arrive monday next week. Tuesday at last.
I did order them locally, this company always send fast in 1-2days only.

I need some supersoft 2.2 to this new crawler also.
I would like to try the Trencher Predators i think.

Or is the Hyrax Predators alot better?
Should i try Trencher Predator, or order one more set of Hyrax Predator
to my new Crawler also?

Anyone here know for shure about both these?
Someone who have test both in Predator compund.
Please share how you like them both.
What is different between them?

I Will do Comp build of this new one. Proline Cliffhanger body.
2.2 bedlocks alu. And 15mm hex wideners.

I really love this blue color and redbull stickers.

And i know one nice Bluemetallic Tamiya PS color that will match almost.

Yeh, i believe i must try self some different tires, different places,
drive style, rigs, and alot more changes things offcourse.
Humidy, Nature and so on.

Many dont like the Predators in heavy rigs i have read.

Predators are maybe best for very slow hardcore crawling.
And poor if you do alot fast trailing also.
Then the G8 must be much better.
I will buy one G8 set up later to my pure trailrig.
Or try different brand maybe also.

G8 are the best all-around compound in my opinion. they wear like iron and have excellent grip. The softer compounds like Predator tend to get too squirmy in hot weather and I run light rigs.

Great info, i did not think about hot weather and very hot stones actually
at all These can be VERY hot !!

Predators must be slimy when very hot i think.
I need buy G8 ones now.

Early mornings cold sand, stones, then Predator will be great,
Also early spring, and autumn.
G8 maybe hot summer days.

will be fun compare G8 to Predator in different conditions.
G8 last also alot longer i have read somewhere?
These are expensive tires, G8 are worth the price because they
last longer?

Predators must be best maybe in normal and chill temps?
Best have both if you live like me, cold spring, cold autumn/winter.
Hot summers.

Thank you

Must say these 2.2 Hyrax Predators are very good. Grip is Mental
Like Night and Day compared to RTR tires.

Picture today after Wash

these are normal Predator Hyrax 2.2 and Rims looks tiny.
Happy they have made 2.2" G8 only 5.25" tall.

Will buy these to my 6x6 build and have 2.2" G8 will be great at trails and in 6x6 to crawling also

1.9 rims are way too tiny

in light weight 4wd rigs i like to have Super-Soft , Hyrax Predator
