Good tires, very sticky, I put them on my element knightrunner. look great.
Bought 2 packs (obviously) they look good and feel good, foams are a little stiff and the color between the two sets are different, one pair is dark black and shiny and the other pair is almost grey and very sparkly? kinda irks my OCD esp on scale looks.
Very...not, VERY!! firm inserts. Very bed installed on to many 1.55 wheels... I think that just pitbull tires have this problem
These Rock Beasts perform just like their bigger brothers in the 1.9 and 2.2 arenas. They never cease to amaze me. They mounted right up on the stock RC4WD Wagon Wheels on my TF2 LWB and it scales out at 8.2lbs. Couldnt be happier.
Reviewers generally find the Rock Beast 1.55" Alien tires good in grip and appearance, with one reviewer reporting they are very sticky and another saying they perform like Pit Bull's larger 1.9 and 2.2 tires. One reviewer reports they mount well on stock RC4WD Wagon Wheels and a TF2 LWB build weighing 8.2 lbs. Criticism centres on the foam inserts, which two reviewers describe as stiff or very firm. One reviewer also reports colour mismatch between the two tire sets in a pack, with one dark and shiny and the other grey and sparkly, which bothered them for scale appearance. Sample size is small, with four reviews across the period.

- − Foam inserts very firm or stiff
