For tires I'd recommend getting specific sets for on and off road as was mentioned earlier. I like the GRP tires for onroad. Losi used to have "rally" tires that were made by GRP, but they discontinued them. The current Losi "rally" tires are junk. They are Pre-mounts, the glue job sucks, they balloon like crazy, they wear out fast. The only plus to them is they are taller than all the other onroad tires I've seen, which isn't a plus if you want to run an onroad body as they will rub the body when they balloon. Stick with GRP Ipananna, instead.

For offroad bashing you can't go wrong with badlands in my opinion. I had Proline's badlands and they will hold up ok with occasional pavement use, but obviously wear out quicker on road. I currently have a set of badlands knockoffs from suprasales (on ebay), and love them. They do seem to be a harder compound than Proline's and hold up better to my mixed on-off road driving. They're dirt cheap too. Suprasales also has some slicks that some people seem to like for cheap too.
