just bought the losi eight t 2.0 and im looking for some street tires for it.. i really love the road rage tires from proline. could the eight t handle a 40 series tire and wheel? i also hear that i should use the hpi phaltlines mounted. so whats the best wheel and street tire i could use and what size should i go with? thanks

i didnt ask for your opinion on what kind of vehicle i should have k thanks. and i can drive it wherever i feel like it, off road or on. Just dont want to tear up the off road tires when i decide to mess around on the street.

the 40 tires would be too big and heavy on this rc u got there, they will put too much strain on ur drive shafts, why dont u just get same tire size thats already on it but get softer tires?
I put these on my buggy.

I love Panther slicks for my on road "off-road" cars. I have a Jato, CRT.5 and an MT2 that are set up strictly for on-road use and I love those cars. I've had all kinds of on road and off road cars and these are my favorite ones ever. I don't race, just bash.
I've used all kinds of street tires and the Panther slicks or Jaco foams are my favorites.
Headed out to drive the CRT right now!

I was playing around in my shop the other day and swapped wheels from my Savage to my Eight t... Was gonna hit the road with it and then it snowed..
