That should make it easier for people to give you useful info on your options.
Knowing that you are looking to run an on-road car, on-road. While very hard rubber tires will last, you might get frustrated with the handling they offer, unless drifting is your thing.
I have run many different rubber tires on my HPI nitro RS4. The treaded "race" tires wear very quickly because of the weight of the car and the roughness of the parking lots we run on. I have run some higher shore foam tires and they do a little better on traction but they do wear and chunk if the surface is too rough. But no inner foams or mounting them is nice. And if you ever go racing, they are likely to be a better choice on a track, if they are the right hardness.
Rubber slicks can be a good all around tire choice, but they will feel loose on dusty/dirty surfaces like the street and lots.
