Tires and brands ??

[Sasquatch]

Hey!!

I'm thinking about getting me some other tires for my Maxx 2.5.

I'm sure I'll buy the SportTraxx from Traxxas but then I stumbled upon the TRC brand at Tower.

They're cheap, but how about quality then.?

Does price and quality follow each other regarding tires ?

The stock tires have absoluitely surprised me in durability. I can hardly see any wear after the countless hours of driving.

I don't spare them at all. I simply love to see those things spin in gravel or skidding on asphalt during hard braking. :dancin:

This is what i've been looking at:

Will they last ??

Anyone inhere with good/bad experiences ?

While a tire is a tire and I have tried many different types those seem exceptionally cheap, pricewise. Think about the price even if they only last a few bash sessions they will pay for themselves in the first bash session, if they last longer than that then all the better.

Those tires are actually made by Trinity, and include two stage foams, that is a very good deal at that price. As ElPirata mentioned if they only lasted a few good bash sessions you would still get your moneys worth. They are a softer compound than the stock tires so just don't expect them to last as long.

What's funny about tires is I have enough serviceable tires and rims in my RC locker to outfit 3 more trucks.

Dude, Those tires rock!! I bought a full set of them pre-mounted on chrome rims for $52.00 shipped. You can get them Here at Flex-T RC. The two stage foams are really nice. Those grass tires are awsome for grass and street and packed dirt. A little slippery on loose dirt though. But for all around I know you can't get a better deal anywhere.

OK Thank you all. I'll go for some grass from TRC and some Sporttraxx.
