Default take a look at these tires

http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...17&FVPROFIL=++

im planning on using these on the rear wheels on my rustler, are they a good choice for driving on smooth pavement?

should i match the front wheels with the same tire, or can i still use ribbed fronts on pavement?

The speed hawgs are roughly the same diameter of the stock tires. You should be able to do a direct swap. As far as matching the tires, I did. The ribbed tires will burn off pretty fast driving on pavement. Just an observation, but they are designed for loose, or low traction surfaces. Not pavement.

I have Speed Hawgs and the tires are the exact same diameter.
Just a few comments:

1. They slip easily

2. Good for donuts

3. Good for speed (duh!)

4. Bad at off road (another duh!)

5. I wish I got Masher 2000's


If you do decide to get them, match all 4. The Speed Hawgs are smaller in outside diameter than the ribbed.

Leaving the ribs on the front will make your truck steer very poorly on pavement (until you wear all the ribs off)
