hey i was wondering which street tires would be best to use for my buggy.

or these?

i want to be able to do burnouts and donuts on the road but i dont want to hit a corner and slid out too easy. i also will prob use these tires on short grass for limited times.
 
I don't have a buggy but it seems pretty obvious that if your going to ride on grass that you need tread on your tires.

which ones are easier to do burnouts and donuts? I'm only gonna go on grass for like a second to turn around thats what i meant.
 
A slick tire is made for onroad racing. You will prob get more traction on the street with the slick...the tread will give you more versatility, you will be able to go off the pavement. The tread will be easier to do burnouts. In my opinion the slick will not be that much better than the one with the tread.
 
Go with the slight tread pattern.

Also, you will want to loosen up your springs a little if you want to slide and what not.
 
yea but its now as bad as using the off road ones on the street!:hamster:

Answer: None

Put some offroad tires on it and get it in the dirt. That's what buggies are meant for.
 
That's what I say! Other than breaking in a new motor, or maybe tuning, buggies are for dirt!

Count my vote for the Thread. They both will do well but the tread will last alot longer.
 
Why not buy tires that you can afford or that are cheap enough that you can just trash!

If you just want to bash on the road don't worry you'll end up w/ some worn out dirt tires good enoughfor that!

thats true i never thought of that. but they wouldnt be all that great because they arent made for the road. i want street tires because some places i go there isnt much dirt or anything. most of the time I'm at a bmx track or in my backyard hitting a jump:thumbup:
