Are you racing? Tire diameter matters. Think you have to use a Truggy 140mm size tire regardless how they market it as.That's really interesting, those are big changes from one to the other. I assume you got it down by now. I have looked at so many from 4" to 6", also varying widths 1.6 to 2.5. Maybe I am over thinking but kind of want to get it right. Not even sure if tire dia even matters?
Big difference in performance too.
I get the best performance with the 118mm sized buggy tires but they look weird and not legal.
140mm racing tires are excellent and designed for the car suspension. It carves at the track but still not a buggy and only legal size for racing truggy.
Stock Katars are 143mm or so and excellent for the Talion. Reduced traction helps stabilize the car and belted to handle 100 kp/h but they crack easily on impacts.
14x+ mm truck tires work perfectly for Talion. But they aren't racing tires usually but more durable than the Katars.
175mm tires ruin the handling and it doesn't feel like a Talion anymore but being able to transverse any terrain at nearly 100 kp/h is worth losing a little handling and is maximum smiles for me. Also jumping and flipping is easily done.
