i'm confused at the moment
the tires for USGT is still the ones from Gravity, right? Gravity Pro Shop Team Gravity Rc | RC Racing
and you can get them either pre-mounted, or mount your own, right??

Yes, those are the ones and as you said, you can get premounts or mount them yourself. I just bought another premount set from Activrc.com based out of LA.

What ever happened to the max MSRP on stock racing motors? Wouldn't this stop the arms race in USGT?
Way back when it was brushed stock, max $40 to be legal. Wouldn't a $80 or $100 cap stop all this motor of the week crap? A better solution than a "spec" motor?
I know that's why I quit USGT.

the other problem is, fast guys are going to be fast regardless what kind of motor rules. even back in the 'brushed' and MSRP caps, you still had guys getting crazy (but legal) motors and running them.. the real problem is the sand baggers that run in classes like this - the ones that can place top 10 of any mod class, but yet have to run classes like this (or USVTA) just so they can feel good about themselves
if you've been around long enough to remember brushed motors and price caps, then you should know that spec classes (ie, everything spec'ed out for the racers) always turns into a battle of the haves and the have-nots. remember when the 3000HV nimh batteries came out? they changed spec motor racing

I personaly would rather spend $100-$150 or even $180 for a really, REALLY good one and be done, than buy 2 or 3 $80 motors and HOPE to get a good one...and then buy the equipment to check it to see if its a good one.
Its a bad situation, but Ive been in this class since day one...and beyond(RCGT), but I have to say...it isnt broken...70 plus cars at events at $100 an entry dont lie...and on top of that, I dont know of any running older motors, except some sponsored guys.
get you a Team Scream or Motiv or whatever ROAR legal motor, and enjoy.
