got the same tire on my zilla and boy do they make a difference over the original stock tires it came with,

the lower profile does a lot for the acceleration, admitedly i dont have any experience of anything else but i wouldnt buy anything else if it didnt have the same profile,


quite fancy some of them spankin carbon fiber beadlockers,

18 inch fast trekkers on 10 inch rims look so cool. they are they are more like 17 inch tires though.

just running the standard gearing on the zilla, whatever that is, i wanted the lower profile for the acceleration so im more than happy just holding on that little bit tighter
