I am currently in need of some new tyres for my Buggy but am unsure what to run

I drive it both on and off road and the last set of tyres that i had (factory) lasted me just on 2 weeks and they are now bald.

Any Ideas?

Your best option is to get two sets of wheels/tires. When you plan on running on concrete, use road tires. Otherwise, use your dirt tires.

Considering the width of the tires and the weight of the vehicle, buggy tires wear pretty quick on concrete. The tire size is conducive to biting in and not floating like a MT. With the contact patch so small, tire wear is inevitable.

When I had a buggy, I ran these for concrete:

And these for not:

Tire wear was minimal when used only on surfaces that applied to each tire.

I now use them on my jato with 17mm adapters.
 
can i run them on 1/10th scale though?

also do you think it would be ok to run stock bugy tires on the front for concrete because there not really spinning all that much when the car looses traction...
