What size wheel do the Yokomo TR31 tires fit?

The "notorious" TH30 2.2

So they are 2.2 not 2.1?

2.2- this is the tire that sparked a ton of protests and won @ the Australian Worlds in 89' as it was-
1) Unavailable to everyone
2) 2.2 "Oversized"

Damn guess i wont be needing them then off to the BST

I'm pretty sure you can get them in both as for fitting on the 2.1 size rims yokomo just increased the width of the tire bead this was to get around US rules that at the time had a limit of 2.1 diametre rims.

I bought a set but it doesn't say for what size rim they fit.

If the tire bead looks much thicker than a normal buggy tire i would say they are for the 2.1 inch wheel.

Peter is right! I just installed a set of TR32's that were 2.1 with a much thicker or rather taller inner bead- checked and I have TR31's in both 2.1 & 2.2's as well

Yokomo used two different sets/sizes of wheels during this period. For IFMAR events they used the 30 (2.2") series rim on the left, and for ROAR events in the States they used the Roar regulation size (2.15") wheel on the right. Rubber bands were included to assist in fitment of the 2.2" tires that were being used.

Ok guys thanks for all the help
