I should be getting my Jato 3.3 this weekend and i know i am going to get some new wheels and tires. Any Suggestions for dirt/all terrain tires? i was just going to get some wheels of some kind and some tires that have all the little spikes from proline but i just thought id ask.
 
Other than going through traxxas to buy wheels, the only other option is to go through proline and get their new 30 series wheels and tires. Since traxxas does not use standard size stadium truck wheels, you had to buy wheels and tires through them. Now Proline makes a few sets of tires that will fit the jato. Hit their site and check them out.
 
not that fast just yet i have only broken it in but i mean its a 3.3 so pretty quick but I'm relatively new to all this and just wanted some solid dirt tires. I'm gonna take it out to a bmx track out here
 
Well, I don't use stock wheels.
I use these:

With these wheels on the front, I had to put a 5mm washer on the shaft first or there was a lot of slop.

I use these tires on the front:

And these on the rear:

I bought a set of these mounted off ebay and they work really well on the rears for dirt and grass. But if you run on concrete/pavement at all, they won't last long:

I run them on the light wheels up above.

I run these on the wheels above for running on pavement or at my local skate park:

They grip better than the stock tires on concrete.

I run the 2.5 jato though.
