Anyone have experience with these tires? They're half ribbed and half pins. for truck front tires?

I have some, just don't use them much. What are you asking for oval, offroad, electric, nitro?

I think they would work at Real-RC? The Edge tires are pretty aggressive those would be a bit tamer. Are you going to try them.?

Dustin, for off road. And Anthony, yeah I'm considering it. But you must remember, the Losi's tend to push a bit more then the T4's do, so the aggressiveness may be a good thing, for me, anyways. I have some used but clean wheels here and want to try something different. I'm gonna get either switches, stingers or bowties on the rear and either Edge or Blades up front.I had some Panther 8 or 10 ribs up front on my GT2 and loved them, but the Losi ribs dont do as well for me. Course right now I'm not sure if the front end set up is quite right any ways. I'm gonna play a bit and get a few combinations. Is that Blade an off road or Oval tire? May be oval I think...

I did not like them on off road on my GT2, too slick. I usually run the same tires front and rear.

Its an all round tire. I think you would like them? The edges are good but if you come off of some smooth and hit some rough they grab sudden.
Kinda twitchy. In the T4. Obviously set up means a lot.

BTW they are designed for hard packed dirt.

when I ran truck I used to run them alot but if there is too much top fluff it will pack fast and cause them to push.

Ya, Chad is right, they work good here in Chilli still.....IF you need more steering. I did try them when I was down at real for practice before the turkey day shootout, and they worked very well there too. They offered PLENTY of bite, too much for my truck that day. Alot of guys mount them backwards too....with the little nubs on the inside, instead of the ribs. They say this makes them even better, but I haven't tried them like that yet. Haven't felt the need to cuz they work so well the right way.
In Chilli, they don't offer as much bite as pink tapers, but more than any other front tire, in my opinion. When I tried them at real, they had the most bite of the front tires I tried, but I didn't have any holeshots mounted for the front, so I didn't get to try them.
They are supposed to be an off-road tire...

Hops that helps....
