Default Tires For Snow

Hey guys,

I live in Michigan where we can get some snow. What would be some good tires for driving in the snow. For Example Big Joes, Mulchers, Paddles. I've got a Revo.

Thanks
~Kyle~

if you get some 3.2"(t-maxx rims) you would have a much bigger selection, these should work good:

3.2 tho:http://www.denisesrcoutlet.com/m_20....+Tires+%282%29
or these, still 3.2 :http://www.denisesrcoutlet.com/m_20....nserts+%282%29

not many tires are made for the revo, the t-maxx has been around a long time so it will have alot of tires made for it.

Smaxx,

Would I need to make any adjustments on my Hex size to get T-Maxx wheels on my Revo.

Toxic,

Thats what I was thinking was paddle tires but I wasnt sure if there was an actual tire for snow.

Thanks

The T-Maxx wheels are a direct bolt on. There's no need to change the hex hub.

i have seen paddle tires on sand and they would just dig holes so it should have the same results on snow. the stock chevron tires on the old t-maxx should work well also btut they are kinda heavy. i tryed to make snow chains one time but they flew off and down into the woods they went.

Smaxx,

There isn't an actual link but I copied and pasted it. Those tires look like they would work quite well.

Thanks For Everybodys Help

Bet you want to stay away from the throttle when you pick that bad boy up. Those rear tires would make you into hamburger []
