Kraton My next set of tires:

Any reviews from those of you that have them?

Have owned them but there a bit soft and they rip quite easily if you going to be bashing or larger jagged edges rocks I love my fireteam tires on my kraton haven’t had an issue with them yet

Never tried those. Many say they are rather heavy. Give them a try. Trial and error, what works for you, or doesn't.... They are expensive as tires go. Because they are belted construction. Most Belted tires are $$.
I do like my standard PL Badlands however. Similar Block treads. Great traction. (unbelted)

Have you looked at the MethodRC line of tires? They are all Belted. And come either Unmounted (cheapest) or Premounted/glued up, for a bit more $$.

Like @BashTillBroken stated above, the FT tires are great in the dirt and grass. I tried them on my Kraton, the Noto and MT410 and are very durable compared to all the Arrma tires and PL's. Can be had cheapest from JennysRC. I will be buying more of the FT tires myself. The FT wheels are very strong and handle much abuse. And the wheel's Hub area is Stout. I can't see them stripping out at all. The look of them is what puts many people off about them. But they work. All about performing well. This aint no beauty pageant.
Always check the gluing first before you run them when new, add Tire CA as needed. As with any new tire. I also balance all my RC wheels. FWIW.

Thanks for the info on Method RC tires.

I've been running them on my Kraton for quite a bit now & I love em for what I'm driving on most of the time-dirt/grass. Stock electronics may not like the extra weight but the max6 combo doesn't seem to care

I have them. They do rip pretty easy because the sidewalls are pretty soft. They are also pretty heavy. I usually gear down a tooth when I use them. They also increase the odds of breaking drivetrain pins. Pics for size

I tried running those on different Kraton set ups. To me they are just too heavy and clunky. The servo even if you have a promodeler 930 ( I tried with one) steering sucked. Too much tire and they are soft.
It’s like putting on your dads shoes and trying to run. On top of that two of the four I bought ballooned like crazy. Backflips are the best tire I’ve tried. I’ve tried a lot. Pictures show maybe half of what I’ve accumulated!
I need to have a tire sale! Most all are good tires, I just love to waste money and drive on stiff new tires lol

I have them on my K6 and agree they are heavy. I jump a lot and think I've broken more stuff since I started using them. But they do have a lot of air control.
