The best jump I have for my half 8 is coming off the drive way and my tires sure do not last any time! I get about 10 runs and my tires are gone! Until there are other tires available here in the states do the X pattern tires hold up better or about the same? I am sure it will not be long before others make tires for it. :eek: :eek:

Well I have the x pattern tires but I only run them on dirt. The original tires I ran until they turned into slicks. But surprisingly on a prepared paved track they are really sticky. I have to take it slow to not traction roll but most of the time around the corners I’m on two wheels.

Do the X pattern hold up better or is it to early to say?
Thanks

I guess its too early to say... since Im only running them on dirt they should last longer than the rest of the car. haha They feel a bit thicker and more durable than the originals. I would go for the x pattern over the originals anyway because you get the new wheel style which in my opinion is way better looking.

it is also stronger(wheel style)i think. if i remember correctly i heard a coment about proline tires n rims. in my opinion i would wait for those, they might come in different compounds. but if they dont come out soon i would go either the x-treads or mini block.

On the dirt the standard tyres hold up ok. On tarmac they disappear quicker than a rat up a drainpipe :D

Mind you I find the rims are toast often before the tyres :eek:

...I decided to run a strip of duct tape around the inside of my stock rims before I run a new set...Saves them a little bit...The ballooning gets worse when the rims are cracked :mad: NOT the best choice for rim material for this platform...
