I was wondering whats the best tires for on and off road? The factory one's fly up like dragster tires do and they get wobblee at high speed. Is there a better tire than the factory one's? The factory's one's are okay for dirt but not to good on pavement!:\
 
Proline has a good selection of tires.;) I firmly believe in having seperate sets of tires for dirt&pavement.

Thank's for the advise i will think about getting two sets one for dirt and one for pavement thank's again guys.
 
before you mount the tires on the rim. turn them inside out and apply 2 to 3 layers of duct tape along the back side of the tread. This "belt" will keep them from ballooning out like you see at high speeds.
 
I'm curious how well/long that lasts. Doesn't the tape just eventually come unstuck from the tire? Then your stuck with heavier ties with tape bunching up in there.

I guess I'd at least use a lighter tape like gorrilla packing tape or something. Even then, I would think it would come unstuck after a while.

I've had pretty good luck taping the outside of the foams though. They still balloon, but it's just the tire ballooning, not the foams with it.
