Default Off-road basher tires for 1:10 buggy?

I'm looking at off-road tires for 1:10 buggies, but they all seem to be for clay or carpet, which is ridiculous, because to me off-road means dirt and grass. Hardpacked dirt is probably not *too* different from clay in terms of the tread pattern required, but grass is very different -- it requires a tread similar to motocross tires. I can't seem to find that in a 1:10 buggy size, though. Can anyone recommend some decent basher tires for a 1:10 buggy?

I suppose I should mention it's a 4WD buggy and it has narrow front tires, so it would be nice if the front and rear tires matched, or at least had different tread patterns designed to work together.

Proline bowties or jconcepts goosebumps. There may be something out there that is more aggressive. But those are the first ones that come to mind.

Maybe something like these.

T760 1/10 Tiger Rear Buggy

You probably want to look at turf/carpet tires as I believe they usualy run more pin style tires and are usually somewhat beefy until they trim the treads for their track.

I've used these with good luck on grass dirt & gravel. The wheels suck, but the tires are nice and grippy.

I have a set on my daughter's RB5 now, fronts are 4wd sized so not too narrow.

Duratrax has some pretty agressive treads and you could also look at traxxas for some basher tires.

Proline Dirt Hawgs work well for bashing.

Duratrax. Of course. I have Banditos on my on-road buggy and I totally blanked on the fact that they sell off-road buggy tires too.

Those Schumacher Blocks also look promising.

Pin-tread carpet tires would probably work, but I'm concerned about whether the rubber compound could actually withstand mixed-terrain driving.

I searched, and searched, and searched for medium compound tires with the largest knobby tread possible. Those are the only tires I use for my buggies nowadays. I get them off eBay without the wheels. $6 for just the rear tires...chuck the foams as soon as possible .

I grabbed a bunch of those Panther Step Pin tires a couple of years ago. They were alright for the most part, and worked best with open cell foams. The thing that turned me off from them was the fitment. They were a little large on 2.2" wheels. It was almost as if they were made for 2.4" rims or something.

BQLZR? Did the company just pick some random letters for their name?

More than likely just a Chinese brand that stole the molds from a known tire manufacturer. They look like Arrma Raider buggy tires but could also be older Duratrax or Schumacher offroad tires from years back.

not to hijack the thread, but I didn't see a reason to start a new one...

How about on good ol' Texas concrete? Asking for a friend.

Im sure anything you use will wear out QUICK, unless its made for street. Duratrax!?!
