Best tires for asphalt/street bashing?
I've been depleting my stockpile of Proline Road Hawgs and Strikers and have moved on to CustomWorks since they are readily available still. I have used some Dirt Hawgs for 2.2s with success but the fronts are now like hens teeth and the rears are almost all gone too.
Am I stuck with barcodes on 2.2s or stretching CWs on the rears?
Ive tried Road Rages, Street Hawgs, Road Dawgs (Imex) and the Duratrax street tires (look like strikers) but all are scarce.
What all do yall use on the street that is still available?

Have you tried the Traxxas Anacondas yet? They are a 2.2, modern, available, and inexpensive.
It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas

I have not - they look like a decent option! For some reason I had only seen these pre-mounted before

I use schumacher Venoms on the rear of my RC10, they look similar to those posted above. Reasonable grip & wear.

Those Schumachers do look nice and very simlar to the Anaconda for sure. I only see a couple pairs of rears overseas on fleabay, but Ill add it to the search list. I have some Anacondas on the way to try out, they seem to be readily available.

Those anacondas work very well. Try to find some newer ones though as the earliest versions didnt like 3 call lipo speeds and tend to shred. They are easy to find, cheap and work well on asphalt and concrete.

Other possible options:
https://www.prolineracing.com/tires/prime-2.2-buggy-rear-tires.asp
or
https://rawspeedrc.com/slick-rear-buggy-tires-w-inserts-2-2-1-pr/
A little more on the expensive side, and I would recommend getting the clay compound as the others are too soft and would wear fast on pavement. They are plenty sticky and the slicks look cool

proline trenchers work very well for me on most hard surfaces. Also in the dirt.
I have them on my b3 and t3.

I have Duratrax Banditos on this one. 2.2 rears all around, but they make a 4wd buggy front as well.
Always looking for new and interesting ways to waste money.

Re: Best tires for asphalt/street bashing?
I bought these Chinese wheel sets off ebay. There are some sellers that offer these unglued. They work great as a cheap all round tire. The can handle some off road and a good on asphalt. They are weak on dusty dirt. I got them for my kids so they have something I don't really have to worry about.
The rims are plastic and not nylon, they also have a modern offset B4-ish not so good for RC10s. The tires are great for the price IMHO.
