Well, I have been talking to some of the racers at coyote hobbies and a few of them have sponsorships with Panther Tire. Well, a few of them told me about the Panther 2.2 Cobra tire, so, I ordered a set. I got them in and instantly decided to put them on my F-350. For now they are just stuck on some old HPI rims that are narrowed to 1" and I cut some old Masher foams that I had into a star shape. With this setup, they are 4.25" tall.
The tires themselves are made from Panther's Med-Soft compound. Just by holding and squeezing the tires, they feel much softer than the Masher 2000s or the Moabs. The tread on them closely resemble the Pro-line Giant Trac. They measure 4" tall with the stock foam in them on a stock width rim.
The only testing that I have done so far has been in the house because it is dark outside. The biggest difference that I noticed is that this thing will now pull a wheelie on my carpet. It would not do that at all with the stock tires.
Here are a few pictures of what they look like mounted up. I should have some RPM Revolvers by Friday and I plan to do some testing on the rocks this weekend. If this tire works well, myself and some of the sponsored guys here are going to talk to the guys at Panther and see if they would be interested in making a 5" or 5.5" version of this tire.
