Default Slick Tires On Off-Road Buggies And Trucks

Does anyone here recommend slick tires for off-road vehicles if they are mainly used for on-road?

slicks work great for on road use when used on off road vehicles. I have a set of Impanama belted slick for my 8ight 2.0

Cheapo EBay slicks are too hard for serious traction, but are fun and long lasting. For serious traction with slicks, the asphalt has to be fairly clean and the slicks need to have a lowshore rating.
