    Slash TIres/Wheels?

    My LHS recently got a bunch of the Slash tire /wheels in stock and I am considering putting them on my Rustler. Before I buy them I have some questions I hope you guys can answer for me

    1) How well do they wear running on mostly pavement?

    2)Do they hook up good again mostly on pavement and with brushless power?

    3)Do they have a tendency to traction roll when turning fast on pavement or will they slide a corner?

    Thanks for any help with these questions

    I would reccomend stampede xl5 or vxl. They grip for me (unless I have positraction, or in rain) and on sports and rustler, it goes fastr than the 2.2 rims. I ran these on a 7-cell vxl, and they dont wear too fast for me and most of my driving is on road.

    Any more thoughts on how the Slash tires handle on pavement? Mostly worried about rolling over in cornering.

    They like to roll on pavement, wouldnt recomend if you desire 'racing' it on pavement.
