I am considering getting new tires for my recently restored 10T and an upcoming restoration of a T3.

The use for both trucks will be multipurpose, no racing. I'll be running on the streets and in the backyard which is a mix of grass and a lot of pine needles.

The 10T is a brushed setup. The T3 will be brushless. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

For something like that you should look into multi surface tires like pro-line dirt hawgs.

Got some pictures?

CLM's recommendation of the Dirt Hawgs is a good one, but I actually like the Dirt Works better as a bashing tire on a 1/10 2WD:



More space between lugs, so a bit more bite in dirt & mud, and better self cleaning. But also less appropriate for paved surfaces.

Honestly, I really like Traxxas Talons, too, but you'd have to run 2.8" wheels.

Stay away from the HPI Yokohama Geolanders; They look cool and they're cheap, but pretty much a no-terrain.

If you're ever going to see hard pack and/or clay, though, I'd suggest Proline Calibers or JConcepts Goosebumps.

Pro-line gladiators all around

I just took my RC10T out on snow plowed streets (in 4 degrees!) with the stock wheels and wow, what a mess. It'd hit about 15-20 mph and would spin about four times. My tires are very unmatched for the snow! (or really any remotely slick surface) I took out my RC10T for the first time in 17 years (!!!) with a light dusting the other day in my backyard and it ran beautifully, but tonight was a completely different story. Realized how bad I need new tires.

Thank you so much for the recommendations. I researched them all and ended up with ProLine Gladiators. They all looked like the right tires for my use but I got the Gladiator 2s for a steal on eBay.

I had a set of those. No traction and wear fast. The dirt hawgs are way better and last lots longer. Good tire for multi surface.
