Well, I can't tell you what is best for each. But, I can tell you what I use or have seen and what I think is the best. I beleive for onraod use (pavement/parking lots) Pro-Lines Road Rage tires work the best. For offroad, that really is a touchy subject. It depends on the terrain. All around the bow ties or anything near it can be used for pretty much any offroad terrain. If you are on soft packed dirt, or a track that is watered down a little, I like the mugshots from Pro-Lines. With any tires look at the compound or makeup! Is it a soft or hard tire. From there, that should help you to determine what tire is best suited for your needs. I personally use the softest tire I can for Onroad. I hope I have helped you a little!

I like the knuckles from Pro-line I have used them on the street every now and then and have found that even with use on the street they dont wear down as much as some other tires. So for an all around set you might wanna try them but for specific sets I would agree with Woody, Road Rage for on-road and for off-road it would depend greatly on what kind of off-road surface you are running on.

actually i like foam tires for onroad. they dont balloon up so you have more control at speed. i belive TRC makes some for buggies. for offroad its up to the terrain.

I'm with Corrado on this one. I have both a set of Road Rage and Foams, and the Road Rages are basically bashing tires at this point. They are way too soft and tend to roll over too much on hard turns. The foams, though, are great, and turn on a dime. The only thing with the foams I've noticed is to get the most out of them, the camber has to be almost completely flat.

Road rage suck. Like dxm2 said they are soft. They balloon and wear FAST. The BEST onroads I have used are the PMT ones (premounted) - find them at http://acehardwarehobbies.com/2.2/ca...oducts_id=4456

They do not balloon, and wear very well

Road rage where my first and never again. Try the PMT rubber ones, they are very firm, last a long time and good grip.
