40 series tires for Revo?

[Gee]

You talking 40's like BIG JOE 40's or the Bowtie LPR 40's. The Big Joes/Mashers big ones seem to really hinder the performance of it. They are heavy and really limit you steering travel. You get more tire for trackion and they can look pretty cool. I put my big joes on when I know I'm gonna do some jumping. I like the extra cushion they seem to provide with the revo so low to the ground it nice. But I don't run them for long.

I like the Low Profile 40's they are wider but they are not taller or heaver then say the stock tires. Give you more tire for traction and a little more stable. But I seem to also loose a little off the steering. It doesn't seem as responsive with them on compared to a stock size tire.

The Badlands have been recommended to me for the revo by some that use them. I have been looking for a buy on them. Being a Truggy style they should be a more precise tire for handling.

So I also wouldn't recommend a 40 series tire for an all around tire. If your looking for something to just throw on once in a while they are fun and give you the MT bounce.
