best tire
I'm plannig on getting the new ss kit but i dont like those tires since there are no tracks here and i dont plan to race and the
dirt here in DR is loose. I want to use the rims but whats a good bulky offroad tire that wont ballon and will give best tracion on loose dirt and harsh terrain.
thanks.

RE: best tire
I have associated mgt tires & wheels on mine & they are great bashing around tires.They work on everything i have found.No balloning either.Only thing is they are about an inch taller & heavier than stock which caused my stock spur to strip.I changed to the robinson 52 tooth steel & have had zero problems since & the lower gearing made up the difference of bigger tires.Stock T-maxx tires also work very well & no changes needed with them.

RE: best tire
I don't know about the best tire, but I really like the stock Savage tires especially after changing the foams for a Trinity maxx 3 piece. The truck handles much better at higher speeds and the tires don't balloon up like they use to. Twenty bucks for Trinity foams is much cheaper than buying new tires.

RE: best tire
I have done a search but could not get the info I was looking for. I thought that since this thred was about tiers that I would post my ?. I like the stock savage tiers but I am looking for some tiers that are a tad bit wider, not taller but wider. Only a quarter of an inch or even 1/2 in would be grate. Also with such a mild size change in tiers would I have to do any mods to my SS to handle the different tiers?
thanks in advance for the help!

I'm not sure about about wider tires but I purchased some wheels from RPM that can be used with the stock tire. These wheels and an additional 1/2" to the width to the savage.

RE: best tire
my bowties are wider than the stock tires, plus they are offset so widen the track even more, and they are lower profile which all adds up to a great improvement in handling

RE: best tire
cool thanks!
I have seen pics of t-maxx tiers used on the savage. I know that they are not as tall, but they look wider. How well do they work.
Alsow what would I have to mod to run LST tiers?
All I do is bash.
Thnks!
