Exclamation Traxxas Rustler VXL new tires!!!

Hey everyone! I have a sort of new Traxxas Rustler VXL and i have been playing around on the concrete. After a while I found out that it wasn't doing the tires any good.

I went to the local BMX track and the car was un-controllable! I couldn't even go in a straight line.

The front tires are fine, they wont wear out since the car is back wheel drive. But i drive my car on all types of terrain including grass, dirt, mud, a bit of sand, hard soil and ill try and stay off the concrete once i have new wheels on.

So i am just wondering if anyone knows any tires that come with foam but without rim's.

Thanks yosiah

i hear that gladiators are nice in loose soil and low traction terrain, but personally I have the proline badlands which are amazing in any off-road condition and they wear very slowly. However they should only be used as off-road tires. You probably want to buy a set of badlands and a set of anacondas (for on-road use).

EDIT: If you're just running on concrete then get the anacondas or proline road rages. I have anacondas and I tend to do a lot of bashing on 3s and the anacondas wear fairly quickly so i would try the road rages.

Dirt Hawgs are the best all terrain tires from what I hear

I think, in a way he already made a set of "on road" tires.. just keep using the old ones with the blown off tread until they come apart, get you some nice new tires suited the off road places you run, those badlands will last a good long while and are well suited the that hard packed ground you might be on in the non-track world.
