I'm guessing you got it for a good price??
P.S; Its been along while since i've seen a set of those Schumacher bar-spike tyres
well it will take some time before this yoke will bloom again!
The front tires are Tamiya Super gripper and the rear tires are Hot Laps NTR-31

I didn't really see the letters, but I did remember the spike pattern as I planned to find a set for my upgraded Avante but gave up the idea when I found out how much they go for.

Would you like me to send it to you for free? just pay the shipping!
The tires are not really good to hit the surface but good for display with a little dab of Armor All or Son of a Gun!
My problem is how i am going to remove this tires on the wheels in one piece!

As long as the rims are not made by Duratrax
they will be fine. Acetone should only melt the glue.

the buggy is very original and the rim's certainly look like yokomo, just dap a little acetone on the inside of the rim as a test spot.

Those look to be yokomo rims, which will be fine in the acetone. After the tires are removed, clean thoroughly with soap and water. Then peroxide them for 3-4 days in the sun, and they will look like new

It appears to be in very nice shape. Just a little cleaning to be a shelfer.

Or Marui. Acetone will melt Marui plastic wheels.
