Spare tires for the Typhon

[72Z15SS]

Have some PL Badlands on the way from Tower Hobbies along with a couple Duratrax 3S 5000 35C lipos. Seem every track near me has alot of loose dirt on them so I just thought I would try them out on the Typhon...

They came yesterday so I might do some track time next week with them. I'll have the whole place to myself...

Looks like it will tear it up now! Does anyone know a good set of road tyres and wheels to get with a little tread on them, not slicks?

I saw these yesterday. Says they're off-road but they look like They would work better on asphalt to me? I have not tried them so....

I went to one of the local tracks on Saturday hoping to run the TYphon, test the new Wheels and a couple new battery packs, but the track was a mess since they're doing some work on it for next spring. It wasn't even worth getting the car dirty but I did have another with me that I ran. A less expensive car, so I said why not.

Yes something like that would do fine, however I have read that 17 hex is not the right fit and will need fettling? What size is correct for the Typhon..?

I put Proline Badlands on mine and they were 17mm Hexes?
It was kind of tough getting the original wheels off but there's a thread for that here.

Cant see those on amazon UK but I was toying with these: ?

Tires are great for the stuff I run on. Some grass, some loose dirt. No asphalt...
