Default Grass tires...Which are best?

Hi all,
Just wondering what people have found to be the best grass/lawn/back yard tire. I'm running an RC10 T4 with Proline Dirt Works tires on the rear, and don't think they are all that great for turf. I get a lot of tire spin when nailing it as well as the back end washing out in corners. The stock front tires seem happy on grass, but my old stock rears are basically slicks... note to self, "don't run pin type tires on pavement ".

Any and all info is appreciated!

M2ks all around work great for me, they last a long time. I prefer my dirt works for lose dirt and pavement, but they just are not tall enough for grass/mud/very rough terrain

Moabs and Imex All-Ts might work well too

Step pins work very well in grass, I run silver compound with foam inserts but stay off the concrete/pavement if you want them to last......

I used to race on grass all the time with my T4. Step pins worked great.

Thank you! Sounds like Moabs or pin type tires are in my future.

moabs are good to get you extra ground clearance so you move thorugh the grass easier. If you dont need the extra clearance it will just make your truck drive like a tank and flip over more.
