..."The high performance rubber compound is soft and sticky, optimized for high grip on dirt tracks. The rounded contour allows consistent traction on uneven surfaces, high grip in the corners, and low resistance on straightaways. The race-tested Nubz tread pattern and soft compound rubber provide superior grip on dirt surfaces for fast lap times"... thats from the site u gave. and it says to use on on DIRT, not pavement

I have zombie-maxx tires and they are amazing on and off-road. I haven't tried them in the snow but I know they work great everywhere else. They will probably never die either. I've had them for the past 6 months and they barly look worn. I would also look into some pro-line badlands. A lot of people that I see over in the traxxas forums run those and never had a complaint.

No problem. Do you know what wheels your gonna get for the tires? Molded foams are a good investment to keep the tires from balooning, plus they perform a lot better.

Any tire that's a pin, bowtie or bonz type is not going to last all that long with prolonged street use. An occasional blast or two down the street from time to time won't kill them, but don't make it a habit. Those types of tires are designed for off road use only.[8D]

nubz will do some crazy burnouts on pavement and grass but they are good in packdirt tracks snd cornering will improve alot. if your going for an all terrain tire then i wouldn't recommend it.

I just ran Zombie tires for the first time yesterday on my Muggy - and I absolutley love them.. Perfect all-arounders..

Other options for good all-rounders would be Proline Badlands, HPI Dirt Clawz, or the original GT-1 Savage 25 tires. Those last ones last forever..

These Zombies are awesome though....
