FG Tires
There was a little bit of discussion on fg tire compounds that I found, as far as using med vs hard. What I'm wondering is, will paying the extra money for hard compound tires be worth it? Does hard compound last longer? Do they provide more traction? What else should I know? And where can I get them the cheapest (already mounted)?

RE: FG Tires
So medium compound would be a pretty good, middle of the road, choice? I know innovative hobby has hard compound ones already mounted, but not medium (at least, not that I saw). FG supply has both, but I'd like to compare prices with a couple other sites. Suggestions are always welcome.
I might also mention that I'm looking for monster truck tires.

RE: FG Tires
Ok,i thought you meant 1/5-scale onroad tires!Are you going to use them in gravel/sand too?Medium will be ok then,not too hard for onroad use and not too soft for gravel/sand.
Tires from MCD also fits the FG rims,well the rims for MCD fits FG too as long as it dont have the hexagonal instead of the square.

RE: FG Tires
Yeah, I'll probably be running it in a little bit of everything (dirt, gravel, pavement, etc.). Thanks for the input. I'll take a look at some of the MCD tires too.

RE: FG Tires
Just as a point, FG supply hards on the front of the monsters, and mediums on the rear. My opinion is that if you are not racing competitively, longevity is the important thing, and I would get hard compounds. When I replace the rear tires (which no doubt will occur before the fronts, since they are a compound softer, AND do all the hard work), I will put another set of hard on the back.
