Look a little like those from an early Yoke(834B style) and would need gluing to a rim i.e. have no bead to fit inside a rim
Anyone have any ideas who made these and which car they were for?

Looks like they were cut away from a rim with a hobby knife.

I think that's why there's no bead. Are they a very hard compound? They seem like something that would come on a Nikko or Radio Shack car. I don't mean that as an insult at all, but just what they remind me of. There are a few Nikkos I would love to have!

The opposite, they are really soft! They came with a bunch of late 80's / early 90's Schumacher, Traxxas and Yokomo stuff so I'm guessing they are of similar age. They definitely haven't been cut with a knife, I think crusaderlyf is right about them needing mounting on old fashioned three piece bolt together wheels...

Hi,
MANTOVA tyre.
These tyres are produced by COURNON, a French company.
They have the same profil than the 1/8 off road tyres, but don't have the same success.
