They can be had for cheap, just curious how they look on the savage. |

| they are just t-maxx tires and wheels. the tires are quite hard, they work ok but there is much better stuff out there. |

For basher tires, I can't see where you'd go wrong???
For the price I'm gonna give 'em a go. Was just curious how they'd look on a savy with the standard body. |

| Yea, they are all over ebay for cheap. Must've been some old stock released or something. All the auctions say for 30 days only. Dunno. |

| Keep in mind that if these are the original t-maxx rims, the hexes are 14 mm. |

| They are an ok tire, similar to a Masher but they don't perform as well. The side to side grip is worse than a Masher as they dont have the siping that the mashers do, and are quite hard as well. They do work reasonably well as sand, mud or snow tires though. They are hard rubber so they last forever too. Give me a day or two and I can get a picture of them on my Savage, I think I have one or two sets around somewhere. |

| Didn't buy them as they are .550 smaller in diameter. May not be a big deal, but didn't want to go smaller. |
