Product information "y1159/01 Mammoth offroad tires hard, 80 mm extra wide - 2pcs."
Diameter 165 mm, width 80 mm. Fits all FG and Carson largescale cars, may fit other cars with 18 mm wheel squares as well.
HPI Baja 5 cars can also use these tires when equipped with special adapters.
Available in three different compounds:
medium
hard
Prices are per pair (w/o inserts)
We have tried various rubber / tire compounds for several months on various forms of terrain, etc..
The Mammoth brings, due to its quite strong and large pins and the extreme width of the tire, especially on hard and low grip surfaces a high traction!
The Mammoth is available in soft, medium and hard!
The rule is: the harder the ground the softer the tire compound.
Where other tires spin helplessly the Mammoth provides serious traction.
With few exceptions, the Mammoth is usually for the rear axle only.
The disadvantage of Mammoth tires:
Because of their extreme width they need to be mounted on FG wheels with extension rings and wide tire inserts (same as for the FG wide slicks), which is a labor intensive job.
The white lettering on the tires has been applied for presentation purpose only. The tires will be delivered with black sidewall.
From experience, we must strongly recommend against using rims from another manufacturer in combination with extension rings. Due to the before mentioned traction no other rim has been up to the task!
Broken rims and torn squares were the result.
However, the original FG-rim lasts without problems!

The V-pin competition tire is particularly suitable for tracks with loose and sandy surface. The high tread profile, extended to the tire shoulder requires a high manufacturing cost. This tread design guarantees an extremely high side traction and provides maximum propulsion especially on surfaces like sand and loose soil for optimum. A well proven combination is the use of in the rear and V-pin at the front. By cutting of the tread profile of the V-pin tires you can adjust your car's handling easily. The partly or nearly complete removal of the V-pin tire's tread on the outside of the tire, greatly affects the tire's side bite when cornering.Please take a look at the corresponding pics:Pic A - very high lateral grip = car tends to oversteerPic B - high lateral grip = still sharp steering responsePic C - reduced lateral grip = neutral handlingPic D - low lateral grip = expect the car to understeerOf course, the before mentioned does depend on the track surface!Summarized: removing tread from V-Pin tires on the front axle will reduce oversteering, calm your car and make it easier to drive.When oversteering is extreme (e.g. high grass) you may even start cutting the tread on the inside shoulder. This can prevent your car from those annoying traction rolls.For very loose soil the soft compound is recommended, under normal condition the medium compound is usually your best choice.HPI Baja 5 cars can also use these tires when equipped with special adapters.
