Tire question, truck vs rear buggy
It's hard to tell from pictures on websites...is there a difference between a 2.2 truck tire and a 2.2 rear tire for a buggy? Proline has discontinued 2.2 Caliber T tires, but they still have buggy tires. They look the same to me.

I just went and checked with Panther's selection of rubber. You know what? No more Step-Pins for stadium trucks! That bites. That was the last place I knew where to get some. Meh.
EXT2Rob, those Caliber T tires are still to be had at many www locations. Let me know when the Pro-Line Gladiator II, and Badlands tires are not produced anymore...I will then give up on this hobby

Tanks for the info Rusty. So I guess that would be a "No, can't do dat." Yeah, I'm surprised how many places I found still have some Calibers available just by doing a search on Amazon. Tho I think all that are left are the soft compound. Or was that all they made? But yeah, I'll probably pick up at least another set or two.
I'll tell ya Rusty, I used to run the Gladiators, cuz I liked that they wore well. But what I didn't like was that once the top level pins were worn down, traction goes to hell in dry hard dirt. But with the Calibers, those suckers have pretty much the same amount of traction from start to finish. All the way down to the carcass practically. My buddy is still running the Glads, top knobs gone, down to the second knob, and he couldn't keep up with me on almost worn out Calibers. And now Proline has killed off that tire. Pisses me off. My only option once I can't get any Calibers (which I can still get for the SCT) is going to something like a Holeshot. That's the closest Proline makes now.
