Hi

Does anyone still make 2.2" aggressive knobby ST tires? I'm looking for something similar to the old Tracktagators, I'm not having any luck finding any descant big knobby tires.

Schumacher, Proline, Panther, and Traxxas still make 2.2 stadium truck tires.

Post a picture of what original tires you’re after. I’m not sure what - Tracktagators - are.

I use these on several of my trucks.

Schumacher VEE-2, available in two compounds. Be sure to buy inserts, as they aren't included.
Traxxas 4790R. Basically the tire that came on many 90's Traxxas trucks.
I get both from Amain.

Hi

Those are some good alternative options if I cant find what I'm looking for.

These are Proline Traktagator tires, and the Pro Line Dirt Paw Tires are similar but have square knobby's.

I'm having a problem posting a picture.

These are the Pro-line Trenchers, they're available in 2.2".

The Pro-line Badlands below might be more of the aggressive knobby's that you're looking for, but they're available in 2.8" for stadium trucks and not 2.2".

JC Racing has been working on several vintage design tires.

Buddy of mine got this truck a ways back now. Pretty certain these are the tires you’re talking about. Big honkin spikes on these things

Speaking of big ol honkin spikes…. Just look in one of my boxes and found a pair of these. You can just make out Dirt Paws on their sidewall. Then I also found a two pairs of these crazy looking things. I guess if you couldn’t make up your mind on what thread design to run you could pop on these bad boys and cover all bases I know they are proline because of seeing them in an ad or something in RCCA even though they have no print on their sidewalls.

That 2nd set is excellent! Those look like they'd tear into any off road surface!

Found it, in the “What’s New” section of RCCA March 91’ issue.

That's actually a great name for a tire "Big Honkers"

Hi

I used to have a couple sets of Tractagators on my rc10gt's before I sold the trucks, and those trucks would fly across grassy fields like no other tires could achieve. guess I'll just have to see about saving up some extra money and keep an eye on eBay for when a new old set of these tires pop up again, until then I think I'll see about getting some of the Trencher.

Just came across this scan, thankfully scanned and uploaded by Jason way back in 08’.

I remember seeing the TracTaGators in the catalogs back in the day, and how ridiculous they were to me even as a kid. Never forgot the name though!
