What do you want to do?? Bashing? Racing?
What surfaces?? Grass? Tarmac? loose dirt? compacted clay?

Just asking , 'What tyre should I buy?' doesn't really help unless we have some idea of what use you have for them.

The stock tyres are actually pretty good with the right foams.

Big Joe's are probably best then.

Though I would go for stock tyres with Trinity 3 piece foams.

Sorry Matster. I spaced. It was late at night at the post. I would need them mostly for yard bashing. I looked into the big joe's but they are pretty expensive. One thing I was wondering if the Tmaxx tires would work better.
