Brands like proline, Aka, JC, and Panther tend to be the most popular. You need stadium truck tires, and stadium truck wheels. It is the wheels that need to be compatible with your truck, as the tires are universal fit between the wheels.

That's a SCT tire. You need stadium truck tires.

Yes, as long as the wheels are right the stadium truck tires will mount right up. Those are for a short course though.

Those tires would be good for indoor damp clay or dirt, or outdoors if the clay/dirt had a good groove with little to no dust.

If you want something for just bashing around look for a tire with a much more aggressive tread, as they will get better traction and last much longer.

Here are your JCon truck tires: http://www.jconcepts.net/shop/tires/110th/truck

As far as the "best tires", it depends on your activity. Are you racing? Ask fast guys at your local track what the best tread pattern and compound is. You could be looking at the wrong pattern, compound or brand.

Go to the track and ask the guys what they're running, it'll save you from wasting money

When I raced stadium truck at the track you are asking about, I ran these, front and rear, on the open-cell foam they came with.

You will need different tires for the indoor tracks in our area though.
