i dont think that would work good.ineed some tires front and back that will last me a while and have some bite.my local track is made of compacted dirt and theres alot of 8th scale guys there so there is also some dust and theres some occasional bumps.i was thinking of the reptiles or something like that .but i dont know much about tires.

I would try proline holeshots all around, or i also heard that inside jobs by proline are good too.

I've seen both Proline Gladiators and Losi pins work very well on hard pack and they seem to be durable and last quite a while, provided you don't drive on asphalt with them. For fronts I would just run a standard rib design tire that you like the looks of. I've never had any steering issues with them on hard or soft pack. My track is very hard packed, but also gets dusty and the tires I've mentioned work great on it.
