Kraton Louise Street Tires?

[JRunner01]

Anyone know where to get Louise tires in the US?

Thinking these might be good for the street rather than wearing down stock tires or any new tires for off-road in the future.

Also I assume I get the rear size for all 4 for the 8s correct?

That site above wants like €172,60 = 187.55 USD

Louise and Duratrax are the same thing. Louise is international and Duratrax is the USA brand.

Thanks...

I don't see 1/5 scale tires on their site. Are the 3.8" the same scale? I also don't see that the 3.8 come with beadlock wheels unless I missed it.

Which Louise are you looking at?

Those Louise tires looks to be the Duratrax Bandito in the US. Here's the 1/5 buggy rears I think you were referencing (unmounted), model dtxc5012:

Looks like they make a premounted 24mm hex belted version (DTXC5500):

Yes those above were what I was looking at but without belted (https://www.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=DTXC5030&P=7), although I probably should get belted.

The other difference is the non belted sc 5 model is beadlocked while the x model belted isnt. Does beadlock become necessary in an onroad tire? I wouldnt think so as its for offroad usually in real world. But in this RC maybe its better to be beadlocked regardless of on or off road.

Can anyone comment if beadlocked is needed for on road or should I go with the belted non beadlocked?

Thanks! J

I believe these are non bead lock as you say...
https://www.eurorc.com/product/21005/louise-tires--wheels-x-rocket-x-maxx-2
and are the same as these non bead lock ...

However, these ARE bead locked but I think too small in size although listed for 1/5 scale...

Louis Tire is a glued product.
There is no bolt-tightening product

Ahhh so your saying the specification above for bead lock is just the visual appearance on the rim but not actually bead locked?
