Lets see how the tires will do.

Not bad . Overall grip is better than stock tires but they do still balloon just like stock.

Are they much heavier?

No not at all. Almost identical.

They were $85 at my local hobby shop. But you do have to modify the bore and cut the inner taps off

Just had it washed couple day ago. Changed out all bearings and diff fluid.


Word of caution, don't go with silicon plugs in the center diff. The car is basically RWD now and fish tails .

I actually just ordered some earplugs and they're on their way as we speak. I've heard of the center diff horror stories of loctite, snapped screws, and stripped bolts. How difficult was it for you, and any recommendations on making the process as painless as possible? Lol

I actually took it at a real carwash. Sprayed simple green and used the high pressure water to clean it. After I dried it and sprayed dry lube in it. That was last week.

I run 20 mil in the center. Watch any of my recent K8S YouTube vids to see how it handles. RWD? Not at all.
