Default Truggy tires - help

Hi, i was just wondering if these tires:http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...d-2-Slash-Rear will work on the thunder tiger sparrow hawk xxt all the way around.
Thanks.
P.S what are some other premounted tires that would fit on the sparrow hawk xxt for onroad use?

I don't know anything about the sparrowhawk but considering the fact that it's 1/10th scale and looks more like a stadium truck, these might work.

I'm totally guessing here so you might want to shoot thunder tiger an email.

Again, I'm not familiar with the brand but these should work.

Wheels - http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXALNS&P=X

Tires - http://prolineracing.com/1-10-truck-tires

Any of those tires that are made for 2.2" rims should work. If you're just bashing and not racing, get a harder compound rather than soft or super soft. They'll last longer.

This vid makes it easy to see gluing tyres is not as hard as we think OMG
Although its on SC truck tyres, im sure the same process will work on any tyre, although for 1/10th tyres wont need holes punched in the tyre
Holes in the rims for regular 1/10th rims are fine
I glued my sc tyres just as showed in the vid and they came out perfectly
CLeaning the gluing surfaces is very a important step!!
