I don't know it hard to tell. You might be right.
You might be right, it's hard to tell from unpackaged tyres (or tires, for that matter :shock: ).

Then again, they are 1.9 tyres, so mounting them on 2.0 rims may be the reason for the extra thin look..... yes, that's what I'll put my 0.02 on......

They fit perfectly on the yokomo rim pictured. No stretching or squishing. Alot of dirt oval tires and rims are yokomo based,, so it could be these were intended for this rim from the beginning! Good thing I have 4 rims too, just in case I cant find suitable rears.

Bolink.... maybe an Eliminator, although there was a few that looked the same, and the Eliminator 10 had twin shocks in the rear.....

I picked up these aluminum wheels with Clod sized tires but am not sure who makes the wheels or tires, or what they go to.

I didn't have a ruler to measure the hex size either, but can do it later.

Any ideas?

Those are Pro-Line Giant Trac tires. The wheels may be Tecnacraft but am not positive.

I thought they were Tecnacraft too, even though most of them that I see have the gold finish in the center. I looked at several google image pages for Tecnacraft wheels and didn't see this style but a few that were similar.

Thanks for identifying the tire.

Some of the JPS wheels looked really similar.

The box I pulled them from had these funky home made looking 1.5" extenders that fit very loosely into the hex on these.

I'll double check the hex size and see if it's 12 or 14mm.

If it's not 12mm or 14mm, I'm pretty much out of luck right?

The Raco literature I have shows nothing that looks exactly like that. Although they could have had revisions to their design or that one is modified.
