tire?
 
ok, im running either proline dirt hawgs, alias 2.8" traxxas spike tires or proline hole shot tires in the rear. and the front i use either the traxxas 2.8" alias ribbed tires or proline 2.2" edge tires.im running a rustler with the velineon setup. now im wondering if i will get better traction up front if i use the same tires up front as the rear? now i know i wont get more driving traction cause its 2wd. im talking more turning traction. like would using proline dirt hawgs all around be better? or running the holeshots all around? this is just for when im running on my local dirt track which mostly is hard packed dusty conditions. unless its sprayed down with water.any suggestions? thanks

yea i hear there good tires. its just i went to proline.com, and when you click the 1/10 truck icon on the left, then the pick by kit and select electric rustler vxl, the caliber tires are not a choice in the category. and it says rear tires on them. they will still work good up front?

that's cause the stock wheel is 2.8". get some 12mm hex 2.2" wheels like the hpi scorch ones and you're golden. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...orch&search=Go

im running 12mm hex and i got some rpm clawz 2.2" rims. thats what my prolines are mounted to. if i get more tires, i will probably get the rpm rims. them hpi's look nice though.

do most of you guys prefer to run treaded tires up front on a 2wd truck instead of ribs?
