I like 2.2 RPM Revolvers (narrow wheelbase) with Pro line Gladiators. The Glads hook up better than any other tire I've ran. I also run some 1/8 buggy tires every once in a while.
Here's one of the 1/8th buggy tires I have, I got them off Ebay from Supra Sales (ebay store name) for $14.99 a set pre mounted and glued.
