With my local dirty track closed, I'm going to start running my KM Baja buggy on pavement some. Don't want to wear out my off-road tires so going to get a complete wheel/tire set for pavement. I know there are better options than King Motor and Rovan for tires but those are in my price range right now.
Looking on the Rovan RC site I see 2 styles of on-road tires. Even with the better brand it seems like these two styles are the main choices. So which is better the tarmac tire or slicks? Will be running on road, cul-de-sac, and parking lots near my house or where I find a good spot around town. I'll add links to the tires when I get on my computer at home, kind hard to do from the cell.

Slick Tire http://www.rovanrc.com/wheels-tires/buggy-rear-on-road-racing-slick-tires-set-of-2/
It's a 2wd buggy, but would it possibly be better to run rear tires all around for better traction strong and handling? Or am I better off sticking with the normal sizes?
