I'm just curious as to how well these hook up on general surfaces. I may be int he market for new general running tires, let me know what you think of them.
thanks!

They look cool, I dont know much about that compound though.

These are the tires that come stock on the Blitz.

well I'm on a dusty clay compound packed course and I'm in the process of getting new tires cause of the loss on traction when turning it's like I'm drifting . thats my 2 cents in what i run it all depends what you run .

from what i read, people love them. i am excited to be getting them stock on my blitz

works good on tarmac & sealed bluegroove surfaces but TRX Slash rubber seems better on loose dirt

seems like they would be a good allaround tire

I agree with the comment about an all around tire. Those wouldn't work to well around here. our local track is hard pack dusty sand built into a steep hillside. :thumbup1:

maybe a good tire for indoor?

well the tire are okay but i upgraded my blitz with proline tires big difference .

Now that I've seen one running around, they aren't great on dust. (not lots of tires are though).
I haven't seen them on anything else. Maybe the guy will sell me his set for cheap...

yeah get some HPI wheels are roll some proline tires, bowtie, trencher and crimefighters for 8th scale conversion. I am extremely happy with the results and hookup of those models on most road or track conditions.
