Default Foam Tires for 1/8th Scale????

I am new to the 1/8 scale scene and am looking for some tire advice. What brands? What price ranges? Where to buy them? Tire wear? Any help would be great. Thanks in advance!!!

Microsystems tyres, Serpent/Jaco tyres both make good tires for 1/8 scale price range around $36.00 and up, shores from 35 (softer) to 45 fronts(harder) what car do you have ? ON-ROAD correct?

great rim, good prices, good performance.

I like the 35 to 40 shore rubber for 1/8 on prepared tracks. 30 shore rears for dirty parking lots.

GQ tires are way more expensive than any tires that is in the market, and ORANGE is a joke and the shore rating is very inconsistent if checked with a DUROMETER
