5T owners, show me your tires
Ok, im really new and confused with tires in regards to Baja's, especially the 5T's. Doesn't seem to be much choice in comparison to my Savage Flux, but I guess there's always tradeoffs.
Can you guys show me pics of what rubber your running on your 5T's? I"m looking in the near future for new tires because I don't think my stock 5T tires are gonna last very long, so I need to choose something that:
A: Works on stock 5T rims if at all possible
B: Lasts as long as possible
C: Hooks up well in all sorts of driving conditions. Some concrete as well, but not often.
I see the hostiles don't come with foam. Where and what foam would I get that would be best for all around bashing or could/should I recycle my stock foams?

Not on a 5T but the tires are for the 5T, RC4WD Dune Reapers on Chaser rims. I have limited experience actually running them but from what I've done I can say they're pretty good, the rubber is really high quality and has a great texture.

I have a set of MXT's and a set of Proline Trenchers. THe trenchers are a cool looking tire, with a agressive side wall. I like the look of the trenchers better than the MXT's but the bottom line is Hostile makes a top notch product. THe trenechers come with foams, and the MXT's don't you just re-use your stock foams. I would suggest replacing your front sponge insert with a HPI foam.
If you are using the Stock rims I would suggest installing a set of HD Lipped Silverback Beadlocks.
Here are the Proline Trenchers on Split 6 rims. THey are on my Nutech MT, but you get the picture.
