Not Bad at All! I Say at Least Try 'Em!
These are really good tires for the price. Are they amazing, or the best on the market? No. These are decent tires for a budget price. I think these may be the cheapest 1/8 monster truck tires available on Amazon. So far I've been running them for about a month on my Kraton 6S, exclusively on 6S with a 17 tooth pinion, punch setting 6 on the stock BLX185 electronics. I've been really impressed with these tires so far. They have decent grip, I will traction roll if I turn too sharp at speed on green grass. My Kraton will slide instead of rolling over on pavement, dead dry grass, hard packed dirt, and of course loose surfaces. I prefer a slide over a rollover, as I imagine most guys will. Air control is maybe a 6/10, these tires have a short sidewall and lowish mass so they have less of an effect on the pitch of my K6S midair compared to the factory tires, which are wider and taller. Not a great choice for guys who wanna do 7 backflips on a single air. Stock K6S tires have better grip on loose surfaces as well as hard ones like pavement because they have a larger contact patch. These tires will "cut" through green grass pretty well and bite the ground. Stock tires kinda "float" over green grass in my experience. One benefit to the lower profile is that these tires will balloon less than the stock K6S V4 tires, which is a plus for me. The tread pattern and block design looks like it would be good for strapping with heavy fishing line, if that's your thing. The wheels have held up pretty well to some fairly light bashing in the form of jumps to a hight of around 6 feet or less, possibly a few 7-8 footers in there as well as backflips and some less-than-perfect landings. Some guys have said their wheels broke from jumps, that is something to think about but a really bad landing or mega super air could theoretically break any wheel. I bought my Kraton used and I've had it on the bench a lot for upgrades and repairs, so it hasn't seen as much action as I would like, and I'm still taking it pretty easy on it while I get used to the way it handles. But I definitely recommend these tires as a backup set or for anyone who can't drop a $100 bill on R/C tires. They perform better than their price would lead you to believe. Depending on what you're running and the way you're running it, I would say it is a toss up between these tires and some decent truggy "race" tires for the $50-$60 "budget" category. These would be better for jumping and air control imo due to their increased mass over the super low-profile truggy tires. I hope this helps, I did my best to share my experience with these tires and provide as much information as possible.

Git yer ballons
Look great. The drive hex could be deeper so crank down on lug nuts a must. If you spin them fast, GIT YER BALLONS. They ballon real bad but only when slipping and spinning up. I'm gonna wrap fishing line around them to stop it. There are 2 perfectly straight paths around the tire to put line so hopefully will stop the ballooning. Little heavy but ok balance. Update:: I tried some mechanics wire around the front tires to try to get a handle on the ballooning before I blow a tire out. Soon as the front wheels came up BOOM!!!!! Blew the wire right off!!! Freaking hilarious!!!!!!

Great looks, decent value.
So far so good on these wheels and tires on my Traxxas Maxx. Unlike other reviews I've read they seem to be glued well and I haven't any concerns about that yet. The 17mm hex could be a bit deeper so that you get the full bite of the wheel adapter but I don't think it'll be a problem. The wheels are beautiful and look amazing on the Maxx over the stock ugly wheels and the tires are just perfect in size in my opinion. They're just a little taller than the factory 5.5" tire but not as tall as the 6.3" tire on my Revo 3.3. These wheels with their offset and the Wide Maxx kit made the truck an 1/8" shy of 17" wide. This is nice because before it had a tendency to get up on the wheelie bar and then teeter trotter back and forth between the two rear tires and end up in a cartwheel which I hated because it's just hard on the truck. It's much more stable with the additional width for sure and easier to save if it does teeter a bit. Over all my dislikes are that no information comes with the kit so if you need new tires is a guessing game unless you just replace the entire combo again which for the price I guess isn't bad. I will also say that I don't think the thickness of the tires is quite up to what the factory tires is so depending on how you drive it may or may not be an issue. They do look sharp though.

Nothing spectacular, good value tires
I bought these for my 1/10 Arrma Big Rock because the stock tires feel teeny tiny to me and I'm a madman. Probably going to break stuff with these over size (for my 1/10 scale truck) tires, but I wanted to pick up an inexpensive set and try it out. Traction is decent on gravel and grass, mediocre on street, ice skates on the sandy concrete near my house; I only bash so no track evaluation. They balloon pretty badly and aren't vented (easy to remedy), but are plenty fine for some fun bashing without dropping 100$ on 4.

Just about the best alternative to belted tires
Recently I shredded the sidewall of a tire on my E Revo 2.0 running on 6s power due to the tire ballooning. I thought that my only choice would be the Pro-line Racing 1/8 Trencher HP Belted F/R 3.8" MT Tires. Then I found these little gems and I have to admit that I haven't be able to make them balloon ... yet. Overall I would say that these offer the best bang for the money and you actually get a full set whereas the Pro-line Racing 1/8 Trencher HP Belted F/R 3.8" MT Tires you can only buy those for almost 75 dollars a pair.
