Default Good tire for bashing B4?

Looking for good tires to hit the gravel / hard packed dirt, and the beach.

Looking at some Pro-line tires for the 1/16 Revo in 2.2" rims.

Does any know if these fit / work?

you are looking for tires to fit on a RC10B4?

for bashing, I liked the Dirt Hawg tires and front and rear. For a beach running through you may want something with more of a paddle setup.

Default It's lugs or nothing.

Do you care about tire compound?

My favorite B4 "bashing" tire is the DHK/HSP rear buggy tires. At least that's where I remember what RC seeing them on. I don't know who makes the tires for DHK, but I find them on eBay, and they're cheap enough for me not to care . The *cough* foams are nothing special, but they're better than nothing, and I'm bashing for crying out loud .

It's a long hard road when looking for a medium compound large lug 1/10 scale rear buggy tire to bash with. My favorite tires are step-pins from Losi or Associated. Only problem ...don't make them anymore, and I can wear out a set of soft compound tires in as little as two battery packs. That gets to be expensive after awhile. That's the reason form me searching for medium compound rubber the past few years. Once the large lugs disappear from the buggy side of the hobby, I'm done with 1/10 scale 2wd.

For the fronts it's old school Pro-Line ribbed tires .

Thanks for the responses. Trying to find a good paddle tire before dip netting season kicks in, but it is about to late now. Either way, would be worth finding a good tire and taking it with me when heading out to my buddies an hour south. He has some insanely nice beaches down at his place.

Dboots still makes a step pin. I just mounted some up and ran them at an old style outdoor track. Multibytes IIRC.
