hi

imo zombies are quite good for real offraod. badlands are nice also. they just look a little small.

tires that have good grip in offroad conditions need to be soft and therefore they baloon at high speeds. thats a trade off. 40 series proline are not really usable in real offroad conditions. they are nice on a track or flat grassfields, parks etc.

i would also not tape your tires. in the medium run some dirt and maybe some water will enter the tires and once the tape gets loose inside which it will over time you got one wobbling tire there.
you can fight the balooning tendency a bit with harder foams. the green panther foams are the hardest i know of. they sould fit the zombies. not sure if you can put them into the smaller badlands.

i havn't run the terra pins yet but i can imagine they are not bad for offroad.

bye
