Default Hot Bodies UFO wheel / Psycho tires.. what surfaces are they good for?



I ordered a set off of eBay about 6months ago while waiting to get my Savage back together.
They've only been on the truck while its been on the work bench.

Just took my truck out for the first time in 6 months the other day and had a blast. I am going bashing again after work this afternoon. I was thinking of trying these tires out for the first time.

What surfaces are these tires good for? I was thinking of keeping them for onroad use only, but if theyd grip offroad that would be fine.

I figured with the extra weight Id be a bit slower but with the diameter theyd be good for top speed on road.

Also, with my S-25 I'm sure they wont seem too detrimental.

Or should I sell them an get some ProLine 40series tires/wheels?

Keep em'! They're a blast to drive but remember they drastically change how easily throttle & brake affect your attitude when jumping. I run mine on & off road but I prefer them offroad since they grab a little too well on asphalt. They're a lot of fun on packed snow too! lol
