i have never seen these skinny rc10t tires before any input on these??? yes i know the wheel is mounted on backwards lol.

They almost look like a set of wide fronts that were cut down to fit the narrow rims. Have you took them off the rims and looked at the inside of the tire?

Here are nip 7870 10t front tires

no i have not taken the wheels off. yes i know the 7870 were wide frt tires, these just looked odd never seen this style before. ill take em apart and let you know when i do.

Yeah I'm guessing they were cut down.

Looks like a “cut n shut” to me

I was watching these on ebay as well because I don't think I have seen this style tire before in the skinny. They sure don't look cut down.

Even if they were cut down they look like they were done very well. Very cool

I don’t see any other way to get a part number on the side that matches a wide tire, cut n shut was pretty popular for a while and the pros had it down to a science. Should be easy to tell from the inside of the tire

Yup got my refund they were glued together

I'm surprised to hear they are glued. From the pictures they look factory. Is the work as clean in person?

I believe the 7870 were Proline made tires. If you want Skinny Proline Red 55's they look similar, but only 2 rows, and are the real deal.
