To be honest, I have never seen anybody measure the diameter of a rubber tire. Most people swap them out when they feel bad and they still usually have some life in them for practicing. I usually go by the number of rounds I race a set with. Also, you can see the wear on the tires and tell if it is getting bad. I don't think that going off the amount of actual rubber wear is standard practice...

Tire size is a nominal 63mm, although various brands and specs range from 62-65mm. Overall wear is at most a millimeter until cords show for most slicks. More for hard compound spec tires like the X patterns used in RCGT or the treaded tires for VTA.

Thanks for the replies fellas.

Im actually not trying to judge tire condition/wear based on diameter... Im trying to find out the change in rollout that will occur from moving to a brand-spankin-new tire from a 3-week-old-pretty-damn-worn tire...

Again, it is hard to get a truly accurate measurement with calipers... But I measured brand new Solaris Hards at 63.4-63.6mm. I measured my 3 week old tires at 61.5-61.8mm(depending on which corner of the car they were on).

Unlike foams, rubber tires will expand under acceleration. I don't have any formulas to show you how much, but I would bet that a worn out set would probably expand more than fresh rubber. Just a thought.

Whenever I do not get a reply on forums, I look to see if they replied at all ..in the timeframe... If not, I call or email them directly.

Sorry to bring back an old thread, but these things are getting hard to find. I am looking for Solaris (Hard), Tires only. I googled them without much luck. Anyone know of a place that sells them? The Solaris website looks like you have to email to order, but it looks like you have to be a track to order. I also found Misfit, Speedtech and Timezone have pre-mounts but most are out of stock. Muchhobby in Cananda has them premounted as well. Would like to find some tires only though. Any ideas?
