im looking for a set of 2.2 tires for general fun, rocks, wet damp rocks, hard pack dirt hills and hardpack with rocks. Normally either in a rock only area or natural dirt rock combo. Looking for a good tire to use that would be good for those listed above without changing tires
 
Some tires I've seen work really well....

Axial Ripsaws
RC4WD Rok Lox
Pro-line 2.2 Super Swamper TSL SX


There's a few more options out there, but I've not had any personal experience with them. There are quite a few threads on this subject, you can search for those to get more opinions as well."thumbsup"

These. The rok lox (irocs) and TSLs are great 1:1 tires for most off-roading, same for 1:10 scale. :mrgreen:
 
Pit Bull RockBeast with Dos Piezas Foam. They are good wet or dry, mud, snow. And, they look cool!"thumbsup"
 
1. Pit Bull Rock Beast: Best all around terrain/conditions tire I have used.
2. Pro Line TSL SX: 2nd best "thumbsup"
 
I love my TSL sx tires. But for my comp crawler I really like the HB rovers. Really soft and super sticky.
 
From my experience, it also depends on a couple of other factors:
  • What KIND of running are you doing most? Meaning, are you doing slow, technical crawling or faster trail running? For the slow stuff you will want a softer compound (like Pro-line G8 or axial R35). For faster trail running, like the hard-packed stuff you mentioned, you may prefer a harder compound.

  • How HEAVY is your rig? For a light trail rig like a Honcho, you'd go softer to get better bite. If you've got a heavy, solid-rod tube chassis KOH rig, a harder compound responds better under the weight..

mostly slow crawling, the hard pack dirt is really just a combo or rock and dirt, not trail running. Like when we are camping its rocky/dirt areas.
I have a maxstone 10, relocated the lower links and shocks changed rear upper link mounting, but rig suffers from crappy tires
