Best All-Terrain Tires

Post by i crash cars »

What would you guys say is the best A/T tires for the RC10T? Dirt Hawgs, Strikers, Gladiators, Dirt Works? Any other suggestions?

I would say the Dirt Hawgs for all around. If you're going to run dirt or road slightly more than the other you may not like them. They would be very mediocre at both. I would figure out what you will realistically run on the most and let that steer your decision(no pun intended). Masher 2000 or any chevron type pattern can run decent on both too. You can get HPI tires fairly inexpensively if you look around. Watch ebay and you might be able to get a tire lot that has everything you need. :wink:

That's a good point to make. That is how I buy almost all my tires. I find lots that is a box full for around $20 - $30. You figure that tires are $15+ and then and $7 or so for rims it is a smoking good deal. Even if there are a few lemmon tires in the box. You can afford to run goosebumps on pavement. :P

I've been running a set of Proline Sand Paws in the grass/dirt/snow-- they get full traction!

I was running some pin spikes in the grass, and they were slipping quite a bit-- the Sand Paws will pull wheelies.

short grass - trac ta gators (do they not make these anymore?)

dirt hawg 2's or masher2k's for everything else. i like the dirt hawg 2's.

the new proline flat-irons may work well too. since crawling has boomed there are a TON of 2.2 all terrain options out there. check out rc4wd.com for some more interesting designs.
