Aftermarket tires for the Sand Scorcher

[Wooders28 5120]

I like the Troll tyres, I think they're fairly cheap over that side of the pond.

I’m pretty sure the RR and BC front wheels are to tall for Sand Scorcher tyres. 

I haven’t got my set of Rough Rider wheels anymore so I can’t check this, but @kevtherev will likely know the answer. 

Yes they are different sizes

I'm looking for a set of tires to fit the stock wheels on a Sand Scorcher.  I'm looking for a tread pattern for the dirt/trail as apposed to the stock sand paddle tires and ribbed fronts.  I'd love to get a set of stock Rough Rider tires but those would be expensive to buy/ship to the US.  

Any aftermarket tires someone may recommend?

Thanks...... 

The SS tires are 1.5s.  You can fit the Frog rear.  There are also 3rd party tires to look for, though they are rare:

Proline 1.5s, CRP Dynamite 1.5s, DuraTrax 1.4s, and a few others.  If you want a more comprehensive list, I can type one out for you.

Thanks for the info but no need for the list at this time.   What I ended up doing is getting a set of tires/wheels for the Rough Rider/Buggy Champ.    Don't recall how expensive the were at the time but now they're plentiful due to the rerelease of the Buggy Champ.

Lol. Sorry to have revived an old thread. I replied before coffee…
