Default Hostile MX Tires

So far with my new engine, I have broke one axle, and ripped 2 tires off . I have heard that the hostile mx tires are good and I am planning on getting them, but dont know which compound of tire and which foams I should get, I mostly drive on grass and occasionally street. Suggestions are welcome.

I've just bought a set of extra hard with medium compound insert.
Hostile's moulding machine was broken for a while thats why stock is scares but it's apparently up and running now but they are making a different tyre now(Mini MX's I think)
I have been told that they plan to start producing the MX soon.
Oh,by the way ,they are a bastard to fit!

Well I ended up getin the hard mxs on saturday, they are great! But my run ended shortly when I had a crash. So now I need a new steering servo haha. I'm lookin at getting an analog servo from hitec, but it says that the battery needs to be connected to the servo without going through the bec regulator how do I go about doin this? Unfortunately I still have the stock radio and receiver...
