Period tyres for running

[tjf]

Are there any tyres still available in either 2.0 or the smaller size?

I dont want new 2.2 as its only for running round the garden and I prefer the look of the smaller sizes.

Thanks

The front wheels will fit the RC10 axles with HPI bearing adapters, and the rear tires should fit some mini-size touring car wheels, which will fit with HPI 12mm hex adapters.

Got these and I'm having a bitch of a time getting the 2.1's to stay on. I tried gluing them but I must be doing something wrong. Do you just just run glue on the inner rim of the wheel and get the tire lip to adhere (hopefully)? Mine didn't stay put and they're loose on the wheel causing them to peel off when driving. I put the 2.0 Tamiya spikes on instead which were a much tighter fit so hopefully they don't need glue.

"I put the 2.0 Tamiya spikes on instead which were a much tighter fit so hopefully they don't need glue."

They don't need glue. I'm using these Tamiya tires on my CE with 3 piece rims. They are working great. Only tip is to pinch the sidewall in and leave the rim on the outside. I could not get the rim to fit all the way into the outer mounting groove on the tire. Hope that makes sense...it works on the three piece rims at least.
