Default thornbird tires?

I was wanting to know if there are any tires that look close to this thornbird tire.

Why would anyone want a Thornchicken tire for an RC? If they suck that bad in the 1:1 world, imagine how bad they'd suck in the RC world

I bet you got stuck in the dust they did collect. Were they 30" tall by 15" wide?

But, if someone made a 2.2 thornbird...

You could build a scale mall-crawler

Man, you guys are harsh.

I had some thornbirds on a cj-5 that I loved.

They were awesome on snow and on the street.
Of course they sucked for nearly anything off-road.

I'm not ashamed to admit it, when I was a kid and knew nothing, I thought they were the coolest looking tread design ever. Then I saw how they performed.

My truck is as much of a mall crawler as they get and I won't even run them.
