As for the Onroad tyres i´ve heard only good reports about Proline Dirt Hawgs. I recommend to try these for Onroads as they don´t have pins or Spikes.
About Tyre Compounds i researched this in the last few months:
Schumacher:
· Blue - hardest but still a lot softer than most of Tamiyas tyres
· Green - soft
· Yellow - soft, hardness similar to green but the rubber compound gives more grip.
Losi:
· Silver - Silver compound tires are excellent all-around, firm tires. Due to their durability and versatility, they can be used on surfaces ranging from loose soil to turf or asphalt.
· Red - Red compound tires provide exceptional bite and tread life. This compound is commonly used on dry hardpacked outdoor racetracks. Very safe compound for all conditions.
· White - White compound tires will provide increased grip and traction on most surfaces, and are proven to perform very well in cold weather conditions.
· Pink - Pink compound tires are commonly used when racing indoors. This compound typically performs best on high-traction or “tacky” surfaces.
What types of tires work best on sand or loose soil?
Answer:
A tread pattern with a large lug and wide spacing between each lug performs best in this type of environment. The large lug allows the tire to bite down into the soft surface and create traction. Silver or Blue compounds work best because they give the tire rigidity needed to claw through the loose soil.
Proline:
Bow Tie or Hole Shot with M2 or M3 Compound
