Yeah, they look much better than stock. Looks like they have some decent tread depth to them. I'm not impressed with the stock Duros that came on my Rattler.
I hear ya. I put a hole in my rear tire in the first 100 miles. I have no idea what I ran over, but it must have been small. Thanks for posting the pics. I was looking around and learned that finding a front and rear tire with the same tread pattern doesn't leave many options for the rattler.
