Best street tires

[CK9887]

Im looking for the best all around 26mm street tire for my rs4. I want to be able to drive on concrete and a little bit of dirt.
Also do i need foam in them. What tire/foam combination is best for everyday use?
thanks

I'd say go with HPI M-compound radials with medium inserts.

Pro-Line has some nice road tires for TC's. They are called the Road Rage, and the others Sedan Hawg.

The m compound radial posted above looks like a nice all around tire. What do you guys think?

Hey does any one makeRims that will fit the Traxxas Street sport? I can't find any one who makes them:confused:

Rustlerking: Traxxas sells the stock rims seperately. Part number 4275 (front rims), and 4274 (rear rims).

out of those 4 pictured above which would be the best for street and some offroad?

what about the HPI X-PATTERN?

[Mason Copeland]

If you mean like some dirt on the street, not all out off-roading, then pick the ones you like the looks of best beacause they will perform the same (basically).

I want to do some off-roading but not much. Mainly concrete/street driving.

What inserts should i use?

[pudder]

I would get the Pro-Line tires. I know I have had good results with the Road Hawg II's for my truck, the TC version is the Sedan Hawg.

what inserts? The ones that come with them?
Also on the hpi radial they make it in a wide version? It says its 31mm, would that fit a 26mm wheel.
Also i was looking at yokomo wheels cause they are a lot cheaper. do they have any disadvantages?

[Mason Copeland]

Any wheels will be fine, try soft inserts for street.

[pudder]

Like Mason said, use some soft inserts, and get the soft compound rubber. They will have better grip, but wear out sooner. Soft inserts are like a lower pressure tire, you will have more grip, and harder inserts are like a full tire, you will have less grip, they will be firmer.

what about the road rage?
also theres two versions of the sedan hawgs.

[Mason Copeland]

We've mentioned about the Road rages, and no, the tires are Sedan And Speed Hawg, 2 different things. Is there a reason why you keep asking the same ?'s or asking about stuff we've mentioned?

[fmolzer]

I think that once you try the Medial pro honeycomb insert tires, preglued to the rims, you will never think of any other rubber tires again. (for anything but the perfect track type surface that is).;)

Pro-Line Speed Hawg with soft inserts for good grip.
