Testing glued and taped tire on pass side you can see the difference between a taped tire compared to stock tire................... my car with the 4.5t motor just smokes the tires throughout the run while they look like pizza cutters passing me :lol:

More testing to follow to see if the glue holds the bead.

Not to bad although it is much closer in size as the stock front tires once mounted:

taping tires with just 3 revolutions of duct tape works good but still very pliable:

I spy a split bumper Camaro in the man cave! I have to resort to small rc cars to restore as my spare funds are rather small when married with children. :D

And everyone the rubber tires work excellent on the factory rubber wheels i tortured them pretty good. These are available, cheap, fit the body well and have great traction. Since these worked so great other options open up from the other manufactures like 'Ride tires' or 'Pits' which are made for the same tamiya chassis/wheels

Going to try them on the foam wheels also stay tuned........
