Default Good tires for 2.2 off and on road?

I recently got a set of four 2.2" HPI superstar rims for my 4WD Mid SE. They came with some nice Option House #W5642 microblock tires, but they seem best suited for hard packed dirt use (which is fine).

However, I'd like to get some 2.2 onroad tires for the street, as well as something for grass. I saw the ProLine Dirt Hawg I (#1071-00), and those actually look pretty good for both street, grass, and maybe some dirt action. Has anyone used these? I assume I'd get 4 of 'em to fit on my car, since all 4 of my HPI rims are the same size width.

I'd like to hear other suggestions on tires as well.

Thanks!

I agree. I put dirt hawgs on all four corners and they work really well.

Dirt works are good also. I think they are better on road than the hawgs.

I just got a set of HPI Geolanders, they work really well. I'm really impressed with them.

I have Dirt Hawgs and Super Star wheels and love the combination on my Storm. Good for gravel, grass, dirt, and pavement.

I run Dirt Works and I think they work better onroad than the Dirt Hawgs (I own both) but the Hawgs show the advantage in loose dirt (like gravel roads). But if I had to choose one for all terrain it would be the Dirt Work. Keep in mind that this is with a 2WD ST so I guess it wouldn't matter as much with AWD.
