Suggestions for best tire to replace Arrma Kraton stock?

[TMINOR]

Running the Kraton on 6S, it's a beast! What tire do you suggest I replace the stock tires with? This set lasted a half a dozen runs. I'm looking to run on pavement and off road, dirt grass. Thoughts? Thanks!

I see lots of guys using the good old faithful Proline 3.8 Badlands.... But Duratrax and Louise also do some great monster truck tyres. Try these links and see what you like...

Thanks cuzzy. I'm leaning towards the Dboots backflips but everywhere is out of stock. I hear these are the best in terms of not ballooning as much. I'm really disappointed with the Duratrax MT's. Pizza plates at 20MPH SMH

Thicker oil in centre diff front tyres don't baloon no where as much in the front comes down but what you want use it for to

Would be nice if these companies would include specs (height, width, weight) on their tires.

Don't see your car here? Then click here for the specifications page.

Awesome. The 6.5" diameter of the Duratrax matches stock Kraton, so that's good. 1/2" offset would be the way to go to keep the tire from hitting the body at full lock. Now if someone knows the weight...

The mx38 are really awesome traction...pretty soft tho...and big diameter so don't go with big pinion

Doesn't the big diameter prevent necessary chassis slap when landing from big air? I've found that for my Kraton, anything larger that 6.5" diameter limits the amount of chassis slap.

In my opinion i would go with the dboots backflips there a solid choice . I have mx38s and 3.8 swampers and i always preferred the backflips due to the lower weight. don't get me wrong the mx38s are sensational no doubt as are the swampers but i think you may find with the dboots backflips you have more pinion size options depending on weather/outside temps, 6s driving and just how long you want its legs to be so to speak .
I find they hook up well and still let you drift like crazy of you want
Hope this helps somewhat. Solid thread going on here guys . Great stuff

I don't think any list weight. louiserc doesn't seem to list any specs at all.

thanks bud!! great advice! i was considering,badland, backflip and shockwave....everyone are pointing to the back flip.because of size similarity,reinforcement rib inside,traction, durability and finally a little bit more heavy than the original one...that make for easier back flip. the only down side is that, in some case they seem to crack or tear on the edge of the wheel and you have to keep an eye open and put some ca glue as soon as you see a small sign of unglued or tear tires!! thank again!!

I have just put a mx38 on the scales and its comming up at 406.1 grams . The dboots backflip is coming up as 367.8 grams

youre right for the weight...i never used them...but after seeing them perform on u tube...i wouldnt consider louise for that kind of use(6 s)jumps...speed run...ive seen some unreal balloning
