Paragon 1/12 tires

Post by R Cane »

I got these in lot with a 10L and my first 1/12 scale, a 12LC.
I can't really find any info on these - when I look up Paragon tires, pretty much all I get is their liquid tire compound. My question is...are these rare, or just nobody bothered to record any info for them?
Not looking for value, per se, but can I use them on a runner without guilt, or should they go to a collector?
I have a personal issue with using rare new old stock parts on a runner... but that's just me.

Paragon's been in business since the early to mid eighties.

I wouldn't worry about saving them since foam donuts won't last forever anyway. Paragon's Centerline wheels and Jump Jets are nice collectibles though.

I'm familiar with the majority of Paragon's products, but I never knew they sold donuts.

When I searched, as I recall, I only saw one other set online...

It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas
