Unfortunately you'll be lucky to find hostile tires anywhere. Your either stuck with the rovan knock offs, or brp with kold kutters. Also uber rc makes a decent set

I say the Uber RC Viper tires. I haven't owned a set but they're probably the best other than brps

What's going on with the hostile tires? Cant believe they would be going under. Always thought they were really popular

Supposedly, they are redoing there molds. As most know they have quite a few issues with the sidewalls being to thin and tearing out on people. But, that has been there answer for the last year or so, so who knows.

@Relic-1 Maybe a happy medium between stock and hostiles? https://www.hobbyheroes.com/collect...c-front-and-losi-5ive-dbxl-vekta-5-front-rear I have no idea if these are quality or not. All the reviews on the site are for 1/8 and 1/10 scale street tires. Good luck.

Glad to help. Post pics once installed and review them after you put a few 1/5 scale miles on them. I'm interested in these tires when the time comes to replace the ones on my 5ive.

from what i gather its hit or miss with these. They either do ok, or are garbage. 2 of my friends ran them, 1 had decent luck with them, the other not so much. second outing and they were flying apart
