Not Bad at All! I Say at Least Try 'Em!
These are really good tires for the price. Are they amazing, or the best on the market? No. These are decent tires for a budget price. I think these may be the cheapest 1/8 monster truck tires available on Amazon. So far I've been running them for about a month on my Kraton 6S, exclusively on 6S with a 17 tooth pinion, punch setting 6 on the stock BLX185 electronics. I've been really impressed with these tires so far. They have decent grip, I will traction roll if I turn too sharp at speed on green grass. My Kraton will slide instead of rolling over on pavement, dead dry grass, hard packed dirt, and of course loose surfaces. I prefer a slide over a rollover, as I imagine most guys will. Air control is maybe a 6/10, these tires have a short sidewall and lowish mass so they have less of an effect on the pitch of my K6S midair compared to the factory tires, which are wider and taller. Not a great choice for guys who wanna do 7 backflips on a single air. Stock K6S tires have better grip on loose surfaces as well as hard ones like pavement because they have a larger contact patch. These tires will "cut" through green grass pretty well and bite the ground. Stock tires kinda "float" over green grass in my experience. One benefit to the lower profile is that these tires will balloon less than the stock K6S V4 tires, which is a plus for me. The tread pattern and block design looks like it would be good for strapping with heavy fishing line, if that's your thing. The wheels have held up pretty well to some fairly light bashing in the form of jumps to a hight of around 6 feet or less, possibly a few 7-8 footers in there as well as backflips and some less-than-perfect landings. Some guys have said their wheels broke from jumps, that is something to think about but a really bad landing or mega super air could theoretically break any wheel. I bought my Kraton used and I've had it on the bench a lot for upgrades and repairs, so it hasn't seen as much action as I would like, and I'm still taking it pretty easy on it while I get used to the way it handles. But I definitely recommend these tires as a backup set or for anyone who can't drop a $100 bill on R/C tires. They perform better than their price would lead you to believe. Depending on what you're running and the way you're running it, I would say it is a toss up between these tires and some decent truggy "race" tires for the $50-$60 "budget" category. These would be better for jumping and air control imo due to their increased mass over the super low-profile truggy tires. I hope this helps, I did my best to share my experience with these tires and provide as much information as possible.

E Revo 2.0 got some new shoes!
Wow I'm pleasantly surprised how these tires look and perform so far. Just ran and bashed yesterday at a local university and they didn't balloon has much as the stock talons. Running 6s all day on grass, dirt and pavement. Car seemed to handle a little slippery at first but once broken in the tires grip pretty well. My only issue would be one of the hub screws loosening during runs. I'll keep an eye on that as I'm not sure if that's due to the wheel itself or the screw. It's never happened with the talons tires. Overall the tires look good on the truck and a tad smaller than the originals. Can't beat the price for all four tires. Tires come preglued and held up during run. No cracks on the rims even after a few nasty crashes. I will be buying another set!

Great looks, decent value.
So far so good on these wheels and tires on my Traxxas Maxx. Unlike other reviews I've read they seem to be glued well and I haven't any concerns about that yet. The 17mm hex could be a bit deeper so that you get the full bite of the wheel adapter but I don't think it'll be a problem. The wheels are beautiful and look amazing on the Maxx over the stock ugly wheels and the tires are just perfect in size in my opinion. They're just a little taller than the factory 5.5" tire but not as tall as the 6.3" tire on my Revo 3.3. These wheels with their offset and the Wide Maxx kit made the truck an 1/8" shy of 17" wide. This is nice because before it had a tendency to get up on the wheelie bar and then teeter trotter back and forth between the two rear tires and end up in a cartwheel which I hated because it's just hard on the truck. It's much more stable with the additional width for sure and easier to save if it does teeter a bit. Over all my dislikes are that no information comes with the kit so if you need new tires is a guessing game unless you just replace the entire combo again which for the price I guess isn't bad. I will also say that I don't think the thickness of the tires is quite up to what the factory tires is so depending on how you drive it may or may not be an issue. They do look sharp though.

Just about the best alternative to belted tires
Recently I shredded the sidewall of a tire on my E Revo 2.0 running on 6s power due to the tire ballooning. I thought that my only choice would be the Pro-line Racing 1/8 Trencher HP Belted F/R 3.8" MT Tires. Then I found these little gems and I have to admit that I haven't be able to make them balloon ... yet. Overall I would say that these offer the best bang for the money and you actually get a full set whereas the Pro-line Racing 1/8 Trencher HP Belted F/R 3.8" MT Tires you can only buy those for almost 75 dollars a pair.1 year update, these tires are still in good shape after going down to a 5s configuration on my LiPo batteries. These tires even though they are reinforced will ballon when running 3/4 to full speed on 5s and 6s.

Good enough for the money. Not good enough for Traxxas maxx with 4s 5000 battery.
Glued wheels need some better QC. Broke bead on one tire in first 2 minutes. Much taller tire with low profile wheels. Good tread.

Best bang for your buck
I have a Traxxas Maxx running on 4S these work great they're light but bigger than factory tires so you have more clearance they're lighter than factory tires and they held up I put this thing through hell and back and it ran great It did great honestly really impressed with the quality and the durability for the price Yes of course there is stronger out there better options but the price versus the competition unbeatable I hope this company makes more this size cuz this is a great deal I ran these for a couple months no complaints whatsoever. And they're still going hard

looks nice, won't last.
Recieved these tires and upon opening the package I was impressed. They looked and and felt nice for the money. Turns out looks can be deceiving. I threw them on my Rage RZX (powered by rtr version HW Max 6 with 2150kv motor powered by 6s, nothing too crazy) and loved them....for about 2 minutes. With just a couple rips up the driveway the hub on the rear wheel completley stripped out. Not sure if defective rim or just cheap plastic. Very disappointed. Save yourself the hassle and just get some name brand wheels and tires guys.
