If you are talking 2.2, then I would say masher2k. Just because it is a monster truck.

Aweek in grass? Or a week on pavement? I have a set of these on my T4 and i drive gravel mostly with little wear so far and this has been 3 weeks now.

For grip on grass I use 2-level spikes (with the spikes coming out nubs), I'm not sure what the name / brand and medium hardness (silver). Soft ones (red) wear out too quickly on grass, and don't get seem to get any more traction than the silvers. You might want to check your grass, running a car on grass can be quite varied as not all grass is equal, your grass could be completely different than the grass I am used to. If it's the thin and long type, you might want to use even harder tires than silvers. Remember the general rule is: soft surface -> hard tire, hard surface -> soft tire.

You will need spikes if you plan to hook up in grass. Mashers and any other monster tread spin more in grass than they hook up.
