They are knockoffs of the Hostile nightmares. Should get good grip

These are the same tire under the Rovan name

Dimensions:

Outer diameter: 190 mm
Tire width at bead 70 mm
Tread width 80 mm
yes similar size to the one I ordered
the site does have a few different sizes and tread patterns

 

[Scruffy]

Wasnt bashing them, just saying. Same right down to the little H's in the treads lol. Zoom in on the treads and you can see them. I'm going to order the Rovan ones myself. They are even a belted tire, which decreases ballooning

I have these on my XMaxx. They grip very well on all surfaces. While they are belted they balloon some but most of us are not going fast enough for that to occur. (65 plus mph)

The Rovans are 80mm wide the Giant Grip are only 70mm front and rear but 20mm larger diameter so you'll get more top end out of the giant grip.
I have the Rovans 80mm rear and 60mm front on my Dune Runner
Just realised 80mm tread width.
I was just looking at the chart at first.

 

[DougStar]

My standard tlr 5b rims with tire 170mm x 70mm
The giant grip 190mm x70mm @ the bead or 80mm @ the tread
So thats a bit of a jump Sure with the g320 wont even notice

Should fly!
I noticed that the giants have an H on them which I assume means hard.
My Rovans have an X on them.
Any idea what that means?

 

[DougStar]

The mad max are hostile ripoffs so i bet the H is still from the copy
But could be wrong
Not sure about the X though??

 

[Scruffy]

You are correct about the H in the treads. And the 160mm is the stock size for the rear tires on a 5b. The 195mm are for the 5t. The truck tires are a little bigger. If you search 5b tires on eBay you will see the 160mm. If you search 5t tires you will see 195mm

 

[DougStar]

Iv been looking @ rear 5b tires ( dreaming about future builds)
What iv seen is standard size 5b rear 170mm x 80mm.
The mad max giants are closer to hpi 5t rear

The 195mm are for the 5t

Yip correct

Yip correct

I think 170 is pretty much the norm everywhere.
Going to the larger diameter will be the same as upping the gearing but much cheaper.
One guy I know runs 195s with a G320 and they're great.
