Source for 2" rear tires

[Basher67]

Anyone know a good source for readily available and reasonably priced 2" rear buggy tires? I'm looking for a set of 4 for an old Turbo Optima. I found the random pair on ebay, but no matching set of 4 and the prices were not always a deal. I have bought tires from Marwan and was happy with the results, but I'm looking for a cheaper and more readily available source if possible. Not too picky on tread pattern.

Schumacher sells 2.0" tires for their rere kits. Heres one... there should be plenty of them to chose from!

Losi sells a step pin yet also I believe along with traxxas and another pin type tire yet.

Losi tires

Traxxas tires

or if you wanna do a road tire there is a really nice set on ebay right now from IMEX

Imex road dawgs

or worse case scenario is put a wanted thread in the b/s/t area...I'm sure there are some hoarders around here that might give up some stuff!

What I was originally looking for was some Schumacher full spikes in 2.0 size. My problem it seems was my search style. I was searching for 2" tires and I should have been searching for 2.0 tires. So I found someone on ebay selling a bunch of old eagle 8410's for $5 a pair and free shipping. Cant beat that for a set of new tires. Also, I had a new pair laying around, so for $5, my turbo Optima gets a new set of shoes. I dont know if these came on a vehicle or if they're just an aftermarket tire, but I like the big spike look on the old Kyosho's.

They look like a copy of the Tamiya Super Gripper Pin Spike tyres - number 15 on the list here: https://rctoymemories.com/2014/08/09/16-classic-vintage-rc-tyres/

For $5 a pair, you're certainly getting them cheaper than anything I can post from here.... hope those 1.9s fit properly on your 2.0 wheels....

I have masses of weird and wonderful tyres (like tires, but with the correct spelling ), mostly in pairs out of packets, but as always, postage is a killer....

They definitely look like a copy of the old super grippers. They fit the turbo optima wheels perfectly.

In that case, win win! I keep finding tyres that are slightly too big for the wheels I want to use them on....

Here's some example of what I have sitting around doing nothing.... https://www.rctech.net/forum/australia-sale-trade/1031164-offroad-tyre-sale-modern-vintage.html

Of all that, managed to shift about three or four pairs ... and 2.2" stuff, too
