Found these tires that i want to sell but can not id them. They have Goodyear on the sidewall(i wish they were edinger!!) and one has one wheel half that fits it. Sorry if i posted this in the wrong area.

The tread is a bit blurry, but they look like early Cox/Kyosho Scorpion. They might be AYK as well.

The AYK wheels had 'rivets' just outside the holes. InetRC on TC has a nice example:

Later they had slotted openings all the way around too. I don't remember ever seeing smooth wheels like these on an AYK- I bet Darryn can school us on that.
The Scorpion did have the Goodyear logo- thanks to kyoshoscorpionkid:

You may have tires & a wheel half that do not belong together. Good luck!

Now that I think about it, the Marui Hunter tires might have had Goodyear in them. I can't remember for sure, but it would make sense with the wheels. The wheels are definitely Marui.

I think you guys are right. I just checked some pics on TC and they are mauri galaxy wheels. In some of the photo's "goodyear" can be seen on the rear tires but can't spot it on the front's. The wheel i have fit's the tire to well for it to be not matching. Many thanks for the help!!
