Monster Truck Tire Comparison
A Guide To Traxxas Monster Truck Tires
What do you think of when someone says “monster trucks”? The answer is massive tires, of course. When it comes to monster machines, whether they’re high-rolling car-crushers or track-taming race rigs, they all get a huge chunk of their performance and style from their outrageous rubber. Traxxas monster trucks are no different, and each rolls out on great-looking treads that match the model’s mission...and that’s just for starters! You can trade treads to suit your driving conditions and terrain, or simply to give your truck a fresh look. Let’s dig into all the tires you can choose to personalize and upgrade your Traxxas monster truck.
Talon EXT
Multi-terrain performance for 1/8 scale trucks
Originally equipped on the E-Revo VXL Brushless, the Talon™ EXT's low-profile, multi-level tread elements and flat carcass make this tire an excellent all-around performer on your Sledge too. Dirt, street, track, trail–the Talon EXT tread does it all! You can get them unmounted or mounted on truly monstrous 3.8” 6-spoke wheels. All mounted Talon EXT tires are TSM-rated.

What Does “TSM Rated” Mean?
TSM® is Traxxas Stability Management, the advanced electronic stability control system that makes it easy for every driver to experience the capabilities of Traxxas brushless power. From millisecond to millisecond, TSM senses vehicle direction and makes steering corrections to execute your control commands without fishtailing or spinouts, even at full throttle. TSM enables you to stay on the throttle longer and harder, which put greater strain on the glue bond that holds the tires to the wheels. All the factory-mounted tires shown here are TSM-rated and feature specially-developed tire compounds and wheel interface designs developed for maximum tire hold, and are assembled with Ultra Premium Tire Glue to assure your monster truck’s tires hold tight no matter how hard you rip on the throttle.

The Gravix tread is engineered for high-performance driving on the track and similar hard-pack conditions while offering plenty of tread depth for all-around off-roading. The directional tread and low-profile design improve steering response and side-bite, and the thick center carcass helps prevent ballooning at high speed. Gravix tires are sold in pairs for Rustler 4X4 VXL Ultimate, X-Maxx, and XRT, and are available unmounted as well as factory-glued.

Ultra-rugged block treads and tall impact-absorbing sidewalls for the roughest terrain The Sledgehammer is Traxxas’ most aggressive monster tire, engineered for uncompromising all-terrain capability. Multiple tread levels and deep siping give Sledgehammers a surplus of terrain-grabbing edges. The tread elements are also widely spaced, enhancing grip in loose conditions and easily shedding mud and debris to keep the tires digging in instead of packing up. Traxxas offer TSM-rated Sledgehammers for X-Maxx, XRT, Sledge, Maxx, Hoss, Rustler 4X4, as well as 2WD Rustler and Stampede models.
