Default XL wheels size ?

hi
i have 4 savage XL wheels that i want to put some tires for snow on,
it will be paddles or chevron/masher type, maybe big joes but i keep hearing that they are too heavy.

now my question is, what size i should be looking for ?
420 ?
40 ?
3.2 ?
3.8 ?

i guess its 3.2 because my rims are 83mm (3 1/4 inch) in diameter.
but this limit my choices, so some help would be apreciated !


thanks for your time

If you want to go with the 40 series(Big Joes, 40 Mashers) Then you will need the 40/420 series rims. the 420 is Losi's 40 series number. I personally find that Big Joes for Snow work quite well in they have the weight to get down threw the snow and get atleast some grip. That is my personal thought on them.

I think the standard Max size Tires fit the Rims that come with the XL but I am not sure. I do not know the exact measurement.
