Default Proline Mulcher Tires - any good??

Anybody running these?? I'm thinking of getting some of these to go on some Ofna offset dish rims for my new Savage X SS... Are they decent - I mean, do they last?? Racing isn't important. I'll be driving wherever and hopefully doing a lot of jumping. I like them mostly because of the way they look...

they grip well on medium-loose dirt. The studs wont last very very long because they are pretty small.

I'd think they'd be good in grass too, or?? I've got a new set of Dirt Bonz already, and will be selling the wheels and tires that come in the kit. I like the Dirt Bonz allright, but I hear they don't last long either, and are more for racing.. Are the Mulchers heavy?

I'd give the Mulchers a miss if they don't hold up well though.

the mulchers will last longer than the dirt bonz. They will performe very well on grass.

Hmm... I just heard the opposite.

Somebody else also said that offset puts a lot of stress on the truck, in which case I would think the lighter the tire the better...

Don't know. For financial reasons I'll probably just start with the Dirt Bonz...

They're good all-round tyres. Designed for grass, mud and loose dirt.

They also last pretty well and don't weigh much (i've got a set mounted to 23mm offset dish rims)

Offset wheels do put stress on your truck. Lightweight wont affect this stress since its the axel who endure all the loads. Heavier wheels or tires will only affect rotational forces, therefore speed and acceleration.


Mulcher will defenitly last longer than dirt bonz, the compound on the mulcher is harder and the dirt bonz tire is thinner.
