They should try to make coppies of real tires like the bfg mud terrain in the 2.2 size if nobody makes them already.

Unfortunatly most full size tire designs don't scale down very well. It would be easy to make them and they would look cool, but I would doubt their performance. Because RC cars are not proportioned the same way as a full sized vehicle, the weight and power differences present on the scale version usually require different tires. Just look at race tires. They are nothing like tires on full sized cars, except for slicks. Even then the slick compounds are completely different from the rubber compounds used on full sized track cars. You don't see many full sized cars running foam inserts either

besides if you wanted to scale down a tire for crawling you wouldnt use a mud terrain, you would go with the bfg krawler. it is the best rock tire in the world and is also incredibly soft ruber for a tire. (required by sponsorship to tell how great the krawler is)

It's not 2.2, but Tamiya make(s) a spot on mud terrian tire. I can't find it on Tower, but the new F-350 uses these ...
