HPI tires and rims compared to TB II.

[Clubin]

I have a MT, and wanted to run HPI B tires/rims on it, how does the size compare to HPI tires? And is any one running B tires on their TB II? What gear ratio are you using?

THanks TB II guys.

tb2 tires are pretty close in size to the 5b tires. I had my tb2 beside my bud's 5b.

They are close Clayton, I think the 5T tires are just a smidge taller.

5B tyres are the same height, with rear 5B's being the same width and 5B fronts being narrower.

On my Punibolt I've been using 5B Proline Bow Tie fronts all round with no need for re-gearing.

5T tyres are about 1" taller

What gearing does the TB come with?

Same as your MT, just installed opposite. :)

That's what I thought. Thanks for varifying that for me Scott.

The 5t's are way too tall and messed up the cornering, the 5b's are awesome.

Anyone want a set of four 5t rears?

need axle extenders to run the 5t's. seems really narrow... or maybe on the mt arms and such be good

The T tires/rims look good on my MT, I think it is the width that makes it look "rite" I dunno.

How much for the T tires/rims? Shipping would probaly be a killer.
