ALL Shimizu Racing tires for F104, but either Tamiya RIMS or TRG Rims.
The TRG rims are for foam, so you have to drill a hole and then glue them on.
You have to remove some ribbing from Tamiya RIMS to get these tires to fit as well.

Check out the F104 Pro thread on method for this mod to Tamiya RIMS (it's the first post):

Surfaces: Asphalt, concrete etc - no carpet.
Rubber and foam is allowed in Victoria.

I only use ps-0571 front and ps-0575 rear if track temp is below 23-24 degrees. ps-0572 if above.

If track temperature is above 30 I switch to foams as I haven't found anything to work. Maybe rides will or tamiya rubber but haven't tried them since foams did the trick.

Looking forward to running it over the next few months !!!
If RCMart says they have stock then they have stock. Probably one of the only shops that actually have accurate stock counts online.
