Coming from on road experience I know nothing of how different tires react in the world of off road buggies. Is there a good tire I should try that will give me a good baseline feel for starters? Something that is good all around and not to aggressive or slippery? I guess i am looking for a recommendation on a tire for someone who doesn't know what tire to start with.

depends on the surface you are gonna be running on, i find the jconcepts crowbar and crossbows pretty much work on any surface

Ask the guys who race at your track. They would know best. There is no one magic tire

Here you go...Jolly!

You'll get 100000 different answers from those guys and everyone thinks they know better than the other guy. Or they'll try to sell you on whoever sponsors them. Kind of annoying.

Not if he asks the right person. It has to be a closer answer than we can give him on the internet. when in doubt ask the race director

Well, I got a few options to look at and try. Thanks

Can't go wrong with Jconcepts Crossbows or Crowbars

another tire may be the Caliber or Bow Tie from Proline

My favorite line of tires ever produced....They were one of the few that knew to put breather holes in the tire and not the wheel.
Unfortunately their factory in Italy burned down...When we caught wind of it we loaded up on their wheels and tires, we still have some in stock at a discounted price under the Losi/GRP name.

All around good tires for all surfaces o would say ibeams, city blocks, crossbraces, calibers or crime fighters. They all tend to work almost anywhere but the foams are a diffrent story, if the track is hard packed and almost like concrete then you want hard foams because they will eat soft tires a live.
