I just bought some axle parts and am going to build my first crawler or a scale monster truck...probably both. I'm doing research on both options and have a question about the monster truck tires. I know that original Mad Force tires are the same tires used on the Kyosho USA-1 Nitro Crusher. I also know that the original type wheels are still available. The tires that fit them are the same size as the clodbuster tires. I have not found info on the following:

1) What size are the new Mad Force Kruiser tires? and wheels? I assume they run 17mm hex, vs the old wheels which are 14 or 19mm, but what about diameter and width?
2) What tires would be best for heavy bashing and messing around? I am really hard on all my RC toys and always run an overgeared and overpowered setup. I'm assuming my options are the new Mad Force Kruiser tires, Clod Buster tires, or one of the 3 or 4 RC4WD Clod tires. I want scale Monster Truck looks that won't rip off the wheel and balloon like crazy. Strictly durability here.
3) Are any, or both, of the wheel/tire options interchangeable? I mean what are the wheel and tire options for any of the above options? Kyosho sucks at providing this info.

Sorry it's not strictly a crawler question, but you guys here know your $hit. Thanks ahead of time!
