PMT's are a fantastic tyre. They hold up really well and last a long time. They are the dominant tyre on 1/5 scales.. so if they can take the weight and pressure of those cars, they're just as suitable for GT cars.
Only thing I don't like is the rim. The dish rim is hideous. For some reason they stopped making the spoked rims.

Well guys, just received couple pics of the new ALPHA RC Wheels, factory used to have only dish wheels, but due to popular demand they made this spoke ones ... for now only white will be available, and will go up to 3 or 4 colors by end of year ...
For US drivers, Alpha RC would like to let you know that there is a strong candidate for USA Distribution just on the door ... so will have news soon ...
Here the pics, mounted on Kyosho Cars during the weekend test sessions in Brazil :

When are they going to be available in the US again? Are they going to make street radial pre-mounts as well?

Here the GT class is much more evolved so the companies don't concentrate on the looks of things but just the performance, that's why they have such rims.

Ok,
Factory just sent me couple pics showing the new wheels after the test sessions and the tyres that suffered some slight modification on compound.
This is a SOFT tyre, after 15 straight race-pace tanks. Car used was a Kyosho GT2 with GO Engines .21 5 port engine :
Wheels received a good amount of smashes during the tests on weekend, and never got a breakage or anything ... as you can see on pics, that wheels are marked of punishment lol !!!
