They are a tall tire...an inch taller than "normal" stadium truck tires, and possibly will need great foams to keep rolling on sidewalls. Maybe Pro-Line's Trenchers, or Gladiators are more of what you are looking for in a 2.2 tire? Another option for big knobby tires would be Panther's Step Pins (my current ST favorite ).
Thanks for the tips and input. The Rustler currently has trenchers on it. I would like something that looked a bit more like the stock tired and stance the RC originally had; but with more grip and longevity.

Hmmm. ..
