About the Street Radials 2.8"
Tread Design
These street radials are the best choice to elevate your on-road experience to the extreme. These tires are designed to shred streets, parking lots, skate parks, and much more. When driven on pavement or rough concrete or asphalt, these tires offer ample grip to pop wheelies and rip around. On smooth Blacktop, these tires allow for some serious sliding and sick burnouts. Large sipes on the tires help to cool the tire while ensuring water, dirt, and other debris leave the tire quickly.
Compound
Made from a durable compound, these tires are extremely soft and allow for good traction through rough terrain. While soft, and unbelted, these tires balloon very little on 2S and 3S. This ensures the tires stay flatter to keep the traction high at speeds. Upgrade RC tire compounds to ensure the tires will give you a true bashing experience!
5-Star Wheels
Upgrade RC designed a tire to elevate RC bashing, but they didn't stop there. The 5-Star Wheels are made from a firm composite that allows for just the right amount of wheel flex for stability and traction. The hex of these wheels is quite special. Out of the package, the wheel will have a 17mm hex and 3 different adapters. These adapters include a 14mm, 12mm wide, and 12mm narrow hex. This ensures that these wheels will fit a wide range of vehicles giving you a wheel and tire combination ready to get out and play!

I can only speak for my 2 wheel drive Rustler that runs 58-60 mph and will first say these tires are GR-E-E-AT!! I've tried Anaconda, Talons and a few others but these make my car run smoother, straighter, launches better, steers better, and they do stick to pavement and concrete! I don't do dirt or mud anymore because I got tired of cleaning and breaking stuff so now I just run on pavement and concrete and make "upgrades" to see how fast I can make it go! Didn't notice much ballooning so now I've got to clean my room to find my GPS to see if I've picked up a mph or two. Sure feels like it!
Great tires for my 1/10 Gorgon. Best tires for street in my opinion. Long lasting & good grip! :) Love them!
I put these tires on my gorgon 223 and they seem to be too slick. They don't have much stopping power on asphalt, just slides sideways flipping, or slides into whatever is in front of it. I would still recommend them, just my experience. UPDATE
These tires are the most out of balance pre-mounts I've bought ever. The sort course tires were fine but I got a horrific set. This is a rarity from Amain . Hopefully your set is better.
I love these types , actually bought them to support Amain and give their brand a try because I have been with their hobby shop for years and they always do me right but these tyres are awesome ,good grip ,supple rubber and love the adapters would definitely buy again!
Most of the 15 reviewers rate these 2.8-inch pre-mounted on-road tires highly, citing strong grip on pavement and concrete, limited ballooning at speed, supple rubber, and the included wheel adapters for several 1/10 platforms. Several owners running 3S packs or rough surfaces report blowouts, and one attributes this to thin sidewalls. One reviewer received an out-of-balance set, and another found the tires too slick for stopping on asphalt. All reviews refer to the same 5-Star wheel variant.
