I have no clue about the tires. I was running over all kinds of things with the badlands on mine. Ran up and over sticks, rocks and everything that was in it's path. These cars are fun.
I love the blue color theme. I'm trying to avoid looking to closely. My local store told me to get every manual and read them all from front to back. That was the extent of the advice they were willing to share with me. That's fine, knew I needed to do it anyway. Still have a little more to read up on myself.
