I tore some of one tire off the rim on the outside on my Notorious. I reglued it but haven't really tested it yet. I did some research and found all the different tires available at nitrorcx.com and read that the tires are pretty good, but the wheels trash. So some suggested taking the tires off them and replacing the wheels. Well Im not sure if I should do that, or just stay stock? I really like the stock ones and they have been great until now. So should I stay stock and buy the DBoots again? Or look at something else? And are there any stock ones that have the same tires as the Notorious with different wheels? Thank you!

That tire looks toast, don't see it lasting long at all. I don't care for the Outcast wheels myself. I would suggest a set of Backflip LPs, hear they work good on the 6s OC but they have the same wheels. Or maby you can pick up one or so used somewhere if money is tight. Maby a WTB ad with all the Outcasts on this forum.

I thought of buying just one, but my inner perfectionist will be constantly thinking "What about the other 3 that are also worn"? Good idea on the forum post. Might just do that. I don't like the stock wheels either. That star shape. I love the Kraton wheels.

I can really relate to this one.
I shredded both right side tires on my e-revo 2.0. They come in a set of two, different running directions. Can't be bothered to unglue one and putting on the other way round, so now one of my tires is mounted the opposite way :rolleyes:

But related to topic, dboots backflip have been on my kraton for quite a while with really good performance, can recommend.

Me too, love the Kraton wheels! ?
 
Don't feel so bad. Ripped the Kraton v4 CH 2's and the Noto. BF's.
I close the wheel vents and vent the tires like most do. And if you keep speed down it works for some. But wrapping Kevlar is the best way. I find that Low profile tires last longer in general. But wrapping is the best answer for tires, short of buying belted tires that are very heavy and cost alot more..

When you say LP you mean Low profile right? And what tires are you referring to? Thanks

The first link yes... second link no... when I purchased them I was able to get the rims seperate... I know they had black, and black chrome.. I'm not sure if they are still sold that way... sorry I cant find the part number right now.. I'll look later to see if I still have the packaging sleeve...

Enjoy your day, happy Thanksgiving
A quick search and I came up with this... seems they don't make them seperate anymore... maybe search Ebay.. I'm sure there are sets out there some place... (y)

Excellent man... cant wait to see it all together.. gonna look awsome.. (y) I've had great luck with the lp's.. way less ballooning than the standard backflips, killer traction on almost all surfaces.. just try to keep them off the tar, they wear quick as with any tire on tar really..
