I have the HPI Yokohamas on one truck and the dirtbonz on the other. The yokos are good tires and hook up better then the dirtbonz. They seem like they should last a long time too.

tamagooch do you have a picture of your truck with that pipe? Im curious to see how you mounted it.
Did you buy that pipe directly from CVEC? There is no contact information on their website.

Are you on the street more than dirt?

Here are the Pro-line with the tire sizes in the [link=http://www.xtm-dealer.com/tires%20dirt.html]Dirt Tires[/link] or the [link=http://www.xtm-dealer.com/tires%20pavement.html]Street Tires[/link] they have the height measurements on the righr. You can us and 12mm hex wheel just about or you can go to the [link=http://www.xtm-dealer.com/30%20series%20tires%20&%20wheels.html]30 Series combo's[/link] good luck [:-]
With the 30 series, you need wheels and tires. I would go with Masher 2000's. REALLY Hard wearing. A friend of mine has had his last about 2 years. Moabs are good aswell.
