Medium/hard rear SPIKED tires for b4.1

[paul]

Hey guys...I'm in need of some old school medium to hard spiked rear tires for my brushless b4.1. I've casually looked on ebay and at tower, but nothing really obvious stood out. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm not meaning vintage, I just mean old school off road heavy spikes like some of the tamiya cars have and older cars had in general. Thanks!

Schumacher would be your best bet, they're still making tires like that.

tamiya tires for the dt02 sand viper are what you are looking for. i actually ran a set this weekend but switched them out for a set of proline m3 calibers.

like these:

edit: oops forgot about the rule about ebay(wasn't my auction anyway). just search tamiya dt02 tires and you'll find them.

they will be slightly tight on the b4 wheel but they will fit fine, run them with no insert.

Thanks, guys! I'm losing so much energy due to the stock/tiny spiked tires slipping. I'll be really curious to see how this thing performs with the spiked tires

what kind of surface are you running on?

The "full spike" shown here is a 2.0" tire

Hard packed dirt, loose dirt, patchy grass... basically rough "wooded" terrain.

I have found these:

Would most 2.2" fit? A lot of specs I see don't list the tire width, just diameter. The ones posted at A-main look promising though. The Schumachers look expensive, and the first tamiyas mentioned are only from out of country sellers on ebay. I appreciate the replies!

that tire you have listed is a truck tire. so it's 2.2" but wide and tall, and would look a little funny on a buggy.

all the tire suggestions so far didn't look too bad pricewise, including the overseas sellers too......I'd say they would be your best bet......

yeah, I read it was a truck tire but since I didn't see a width spec, I wasn't sure if it would fit or not. Thanks for the clarification though!
