Howdy all - I shredded my first tire yesterday doing a wheelie. The kids, wife, and I had been at the baseball field less than 5 minutes. Earlier in the day, the truck did go through quite a large puddle as we've had a ton of rain lately. I couldn't see the puddle in the grass and didn't know it was there, my wife told me she could barely see the tops of the tires in the puddle, so it was deep.
I'm new to the hobby R/C world, always wanted to join when I was younger. I've now read and learned about venting tires and will do so moving forward.
I've ordered a couple new Granite stock tires along with a full set of Duratrax Lockups. Seems everyone has tires out of stock though, so it'll be a while before I can get running again.
The question I have is regarding mixing new tires with used tires... Any reason I should not throw a brand new tire on the truck with 3 other tires that have some wear? In the 3 weeks I've had the truck, I've had about a dozen runs and the rear tires were showing more wear than the fronts, so I did a tire rotation the night before the blowout.
