I'm looking to get new tires for my 5B but I'm still a little confused on which compound to buy. I run mainly in grass fields and on some dirt - strictly bashing, no racing. Are the stock 5B RTR Dirtbuster tires soft compound? What differences would medium and hard compounds give?

I would stay away from HPI tires, seriously.

If you want an awesome tire that will last a long, long time go with Hostile Hobbies line of tires. You'll pay more, but they will last a ton longer:

Those are all of Hostile's tires. I've been running Hostile Nightmare MX's (Hard) on mine in grass and dirt for about 10 tanks now, with just a bit of wear.

I will be getting a set of these soon: http://www.hostilehobby.com/product_...oducts_id=1703

You absolutely cannot go wrong, and Hostile has top notch customer service.

I guess I should have said that I am planning on buying some kind of Hostile Hobby tire but should they be soft, medium, or hard?

I run on hard, dusty construction type dirt and grass. I would go with hard. Just me, but I'll take a little traction loss for great lasting tire.

Hopefully someone else chimes in on what they have and their suggestions.
