About due for new set of tires for 5t 2.0 but......where did they go ? Got six pack from ddm 2 years ago but looks like they're no longer producing....... As I prefer a premounted setup looking for suggestions. Seems like everything is a pin or motocross style now. Stock motor with bartalone pipe so don't need anything crazy. Thank you everyone!!!!

I saw that louise rc has some xmaxx sized tires that should fit. It’s basically the duratrax stuff, I found them on eBay. You may have to wait 3 weeks or more since they ship from China
 
Thank you guys much !!! Didn't see them on Taylor's site but yep, that's perfect!!
 
Well now , getting a bit confused and concerned with the future of our hobby......other than taylor, who won't accept my visa debit card????? Only other place I can find the louise rc tires doesn't ship to USA..... Gotta go Walmart and put money on prepaid visa to order from taylor. 2 years ago ddm had at least half dozen 5t 2.0 tire choices and now basically 1 that's out of stock or same tires belted for 20-30 bucks more!?!?!?!? MOD is we're I got my jc concepts but out of stock..... really want a premount because my rims getting square which I'm sure you guys understand. So instead of 125 buck for four tires and rims looking at 2-300 hundred ..... Don't even get me started on ""out of stock"" issues, no names mentioned, primal rc , over a year on basic parts..... I didn't expect to not be able to enjoy my stuff over parts but getting a bit worried. We spend major cash for large scales then can't get support from company that makes them. Guess I'll just polish them and hang em on a wall. Thanks for listening I'm done bitching......
 
DDM racing seems to have had a tough time during their move. They relocated from Utah to Northern Washington. I liked them way better in Utah because they didn't have to charge sales tax. Now that they are in Washinton, I have to pay the 10% tax.

Weird that they wouldn't accept your visa. I guess I never pay attention because I use PayPal for most online purchases.
 
I saw those as well, they look like nice tires but I think I would prefer the “uphill” / six pack tread design. It’s just a personal preference to shy away from the big chunky lugs. Thanks to horizon hobby for buying out duratrax and discontinuing everything.
 
Noted most of the " 1/5" scale are x-maxx/monster truck except the ones from Taylor's. Have had issues with Vitavon and other places across the pond as it's called with a debit card but can order Vitavon off ebay with debit card......Vitavon won't take the pre paid card we usually use for internet orders but Taylor's will..... all usa shops usually take debit card too....gets confusing because it's a debit/credit card.... I'd prefer to just go to hobby shop but closest one hour and a half trip and other ones I go to about same. My main one stocks fifth scale but zero parts and my other ones zero fifth scale...so got to order everything.
 
These Louise RC tires are the same size as MX43s. Has anyone used them and can confirm no ballooning on 12s?
 
The goods all rolled in today, no pun intended.... Ordered sat, processed Monday, here today, great service Taylor's rc .
