We are starting a spec class with the Cup Racers and we need to sort out the tires- as I understand it, HPI's rims are special and if you want to use their rims, you'd obviously be stuck with the tire range that HPI offers currently. Otherwise, you run the Mini rims that Tamiya designed with aftermarket tires. Problem is- if you have the Porsche you'd have to run non-offset Mini rims with a hub spacer if you wanted aftermarket tires right? Has anyone had luck with the optional Soft HPI tire?

Thanks!

I race indoors on carpet and I run the S tires. Awesome grip. They are wearing very well. I use tire sauce full on rear and inner half on front. After three nights of running at least 6-8 packs each night, I can say they are a very good tire..........
