So, how good -are- power grip tires?

[Killer Tamashi]

Imo going off stats you're just better off with the all-terrain tires, but that's without the grip ability activated..so do they actually perform better than every other tire, or not?

They don't and cost so much energy that you need a huge pool/regen to make use of them.

Might be OK if only using 2 or 1 of them, but 4 drains you in seconds even with a roof, 2 expanded, and a side battery.

Not been able to "not get anywhere" with the All-terrain tyres to warrant some supposed slightly extra grip. Heck if you slip back use the handbrake, it is much cheaper and more versatile (having to use a button to activate these tyres limits your on the go action options).

tldr: Used them one run, almost died (not done that so far after 40 runs), never again!

Ah, fair enough. I personally found a mix of all-terrain and the nitro boost beats the powergrip anyway, since you can force yourself up anything with the extra speed

I tried the power grip tires once and it just wasn't that great. Crazy battery drain and doesn't do as well as you'd think it should.

Oddly enough, it feels like the off road tires are the best IMO. Venturing off the roads is the best way to find rare resources. AA rating off road just makes it a breeze.

They're horrible.

I mean, they have gotten me up some insane slopes in moments as the storm was approaching. Sure, they'll burn through your battery but they've saved my life at least twice.

I'm using 4 of those, all while using battery chargers (wind, rain, solar) and roof battery + seat battery.

It's going great, as long as I don't use the ability for too long. Saved me from a pinch while I was evacuating from a pond of water.

2 Paddle at front and 2 AT/Off-road at back and you will FLY over water! (I lie, you just got a lot quicker)

They are great for staying in place during a hurricane squall.
