I'm mostly on dry rock, and for that the Pro-Line Krawlers are fantastic. Even in g8 compound.
As for mud.... I don't do mud. :lmao:

That's some great info. BTW, the reason I want it to go over curbs is because I don't want to be looking cool rock crawling and then roll up to a curb and not be able to get over it..lol..That would be pretty embarrassing for me..haha. The curbs around me are around 6-8 inches tall and are square at 90 degree angles.
Why would it be embarrassing? Worried about others watching you? ;-)
I look at the curb scenario like so - real trail rigs typically can't climb a 5 to 7 foot tall vertical concrete wall...
A lot of 1/10th crawler/trail rigs will be fine approaching a curb like that slowly from an angle, though!
This stuff isn't 100% accurate to scale, R/C vehicles usually have more articulation than what they are meant to resemble.
Thanks for your input. I did purposely omit the Super Swamper TSL because I have had them before on my real life truck and I wasn't impressed. Just my personal opinion..
I vote for the Super Swamper Bogger...
it's still !.9" wheel but 5.4"tall, lol...
Mounted on my Bronco, sitting at 9400+ feet....
Imo the best all around tire in the Rc world is the Proline Tsl Sx. It gets beat by certain specialized tires, but does everything well.
So, I talked with my local shop guy and I'm probably going to be sticking with the 1.9" tires. I'm also going to probably go with the Krawlers with Crawling Innovations Dual Stage Foams. I'm thinking of doing soft foams in the front and medium foams in the rear. What do you guys think?
why would you be driving it on the pavement there not made for the pavementThat's some great info.

I’d go with the proline dual stage foams with that size tire myself. They’re great foams and fill the profile of the 4.75” tires well while still allowing plenty of tread conformation. I use CI for basically every other tire though.
Soft front and Medium rear is also where I would start. Post up some pics when you get the rig in your hands.

especialy with any kind of overdrive
get a different rig for curbs and pavement
