Rather than continue to burn up nice Pro-Line and JC Concepts off-road buggy tires with spikes, are there any recommendations on tires that will be a little hardier? Something with a square tread block possibly if something like that exists. Bar codes also seem to be rather soft and I don't need that for running in the street with my son driving his 2wd Slash.

These will be for my RC10 B3 buggy.

Proline Dirt Hawg all around, they are very resistant for road bashing with still some acceptable grip.

+1 on the dirt hawgs, i've had a set on my street speed buggy for a long time and they are holding up well.

i got them on my b4 javelin to run the streets, hold up nice and have some meat on them

That's a pretty cool car, Mike! What do you call it, an Associyosho?

thanks, dont really have a name for it lol. wanted to do something different than a b4, here is the build thread, although the car looks different (better i think) now than in the last pics, ill update soon, had cage powdercoated orange so it looks like perfect shiny orange plastic and add a few bits and peices to it.

Thanks everyone, I ordered up a set.

i have a b3 team which i bash the hell out of mainly on asphalt and grass

managed to get job lot of schumacher minispikes for about usd 3 per pair - they grip super well but admittedly are likely to wear quicker than the hawks given the tread pattern but at the price i didnt mind!

my rc10 has slicks, so i really cant do a lotta off road, the problem with that is my local track is carpeted. so im usuall slidin all over the damn place. But man doo they like the tarmac.

The Dirt Hawgs come with foam as do most tires today. However I don't cut them down to fit inside. I cram all of the foam inside the tire. It makes them nice and stiff. When I'd cut the foam to fit better I found the tires to be too soft in the sidewalls.

Good observation, I was wondering why I saw people do that in "How To" vids...I think most tires feel more "normal" with all the foams stuffed inside, too.
