hey i race alot with my savage but should i get different tires it seems the stock seems ok
 
Well if you want to spend the money you can get a T-maxx wheel adapter for your savage and get a set of bowties.
 
What the hell is a T-Maxx wheel adaptor? I use T-Maxx rims on my savage without any adaptor.

Back to your question, what kind of racing do you do? That might tell someone what kind of tires you might look into.
 
uh dirt with jumps on a track sometimes i just bash they say you want skinny tires to you can slide

The Savage hex and the T-Maxx hex are identical in shape. This allows the Savage to take a T-Maxx rim and wheel without any adapter.


As for the original question, EP has it right. We need to know what kind of racing you mean to give the best recommendation. Different surfaces require different tread patterns.

You can slide wide tires easily enough. Trust me, I spent today sliding my IMEX Jumbo Maxx Claw Dawgz.
 
The Big Joe 40 series are the same size as the IMEX Jumbo Maxx series tires. They have different tread patterns, but provide great stability for the truck. Big tires equals more weight or rotational mass. This is not always good for racing, but doesn't hurt when bashing.

Actually skinny tires will make you dig in better in turns rather than slide. This does have a down side that means flipping in the corner. I am pretty satisfied with my J Hawgs. Pretty hard rubber and the tread pattern allows for great traction without sacrificing durability. I looked for a pic of them but couldn't find one.
 
k I'm not sure i want to spend money on tires they are fricken expensive all together with rims
 
Keep the stock tires and go with a wider offset rim! Yor truck will be more stable around corners and you will still have good traction with the stockers.
 
ProLine Velocity Six rims with wide offset are a good set.

RPM StableMaxx rims are also a wide-offset rim and come in a couple of styles.
