Pro-Line Switch tires work well for me, both on-road and off.

They don't work well in grass, I have themtoo - like them everywhere except on grass. On grass, they're not as good as stockers, which aren't that good either.

I like them on my grass, but it all depends on what your yard is like.

Are you referring to these - the 3.8 size version of the MT Talons??

You don't HAVE to use them with the bead lock, for a while I ran them on regular rims and they were fine.

You don't need to use CA glue with these, but with the higher power/speed brushless systems you can tear the tire out from the part that holds the bead.

if you look at the link posted the bead is the red ring that screws on to the rim. this holds the tire to the rim.
