Because it has plastic tires, do they slip on grass or skid when stopping? I've been looking for something like this but worry about the plastic tire

We live in the country, so no sidewalks. This works great on grass, though it won't make hills very well.

When new it is fast on grass, but with extensive use on a hard surface the tires have developed holes in the plastics.

We live in Montana, in the country and this Power Wheels is AMAZING! I cannot RAVE about this thing enough! We have 5 acres of mowed lawn and 15 acres of pasture. We have a gravel driveway as well. This Power Wheels can go everywhere! It even made it through 3 ft tall grass in our pasture! We can't wait for snow to see if it can make it through that too! We had previously purchased the Power Wheel Jeep and that thing couldn't even go through the lawn and was only functional on the gravel driveway....so annoying!! We plan on getting one of these for our daughter! LOVE THIS TOY! Worth the price!

Center area (hubcap if you will) is plastic. The actual tires are rubbery but not inflatable.

We have never tried it on grass, but I suspect pavement is better than grass. It works very well on pavement and if there is a slight hill or decline the kids can even stop pedaling and just glide down. Kids enjoy the car. The Only issue is my son says it hurts his lower back when he pedals a lot. The seat back sort of digs in to him- almost like we need to put a cushion there for him. .

The tires are soft and pliable which gives the indication they are soft rubber. They are definitely not hard plastic.

No, the wheels are a hard plastic causing them to spin on the grass. I also have a Razor 300 with rubber wheels that can ride on grass.

It does have brakes that lock on the back wheels, it's good outside; if in soft/spongy grass it doesn't roll well.

Yeah, they can be a little slippery, but it depends on the ramps you connect these ends to. I attached them to untreated 2x6's and they get a little slippery in the rain or when equipment tires are wet, but I just slow down and take my time and I have no problems.

These F-1 R/C cars have plastic wheels. I you want to make them 'traction effective', put some wide rubber bands on at least the rear wheels. The front wheels steer fine without the rubber bands, but I have some on my front wheels.

Yes, it has very good traction in grass. It's a great buy and my daughter loves it

I am not certain I have never had a problem with the wheels. The new plastics you know are very much stronger the old. If I were to buy another I would go for the Four Wheel Drive. The abbreviation they give for FWD Means Front wheel drive, not four wheel drive. The fact that the wheels are plastic however has not effected this machine

I prefer the classic tires. I haven't had a problem going anywhere. My 2 year old can pull it without issue on the road as well as in the yard.

Yes I have pretty good luck with sand, gravel, grass. Not so good on pavement. Slide easy. Personally I think the stock stampede 4x4 tires are the best though.

The plastic tires are just fine. They are pretty durable in my opinion. The rubber tires are fine, too, but much more expensive. I have a little boy and so far the plastic tires have stood up to him just fine.

I haven't experienced any slipping on loose gravel. I've heard other users say they roughed up the surfaces a little (which happens after a couple uses anyway) to insured more grip. I still chock the other side tire just in case.

Yes, it should be fine. My son even went on grass..:) The tires are like mountain bike tires. Not plastic..

Better on pavement. It is fine on grass, but it is definitely harder to pedal than on the sidewalk. My son mostly rides on the sidewalk.

They are a very hard rubber compound and even if it did not have good brakes there would be no slippage. I have used it in all types of weather while visiting Ports of Call while on cruises and here at home with not one bit of slippage. They are definitely hard rubber with tread.
