Sold in pairs?

[Mike4xdriver]

Can someone please explain why the high quality name brand tires are sold in pairs?
I'm pretty sure 99.9% of rc cars, trucks, crawlers need 4 tires. Is this just a money grab? Currently on Jconcepts website and they don't even say how many tires are being sold so I have to guess if it's single, pair or set.

If you notice, a lot of old school rc's run different front tires and back tires, so two at a time made sense.

Buggy tires I can understand but why crawler tires?

My injora tires come in sets of four. Sometimes you don't need a full set, say your just adding a spare tire for a scale rig.

If you want a money grab try buying hot dogs and buns.
