I run my car on the road a lot and the nobby tires get worn out in no time...the ones in this vid look more like street tires that should last me a little longer.
If anyone knows of any other semi street tires for the tornado let me kno!

III are fronts and I are rears. They balloon like crazy on pavement and are really good on dirt too. not the greatest on grass though. they look really good on my buggy though. ill take pics if ya want.

Status: offline 		ive had my clutch bell smoke to. i think it might have gotten grass in it through the hole. i glued a clear plastic over the cut outs for the tranny and flywheel.thats not i went through 2 sets of tires in a little less than a week. one set stockers, the other set my friend let me borrow from his dark impact.BALD both set.thats my fault though i love seeing the rubber marks in my driveway from blowin donuts. i got 3 tanks out of the stockers, and 5 or 6 out the dark impact wheels. i told him they were bald.he told me he didnt care....we'll see when he gets em back. goin through tires can get expensive, but that comes with the hobby
