The Contact brand tires that come in the kit come with an adhesive ring you attach to the outside of the tire. The ring really helps to stop chunking. Even if they are a little chunked, they still work great.

Now for the Testimonial. We've run these cars (All SupaStox) for 8 weeks. The only part that has failed is.... None. Not one. Not one broken or bent part. No smoked ESCs, no burnt up motors. We've all gone through 3 sets of tires and a couple bodies each or so though. Practice night is charge, clean, run, repeat sometimes for 6 hours. And we don't practice alone, the whole crew comes out at the same time. We stop, let everyone catch up and race for a few laps and repeat this process. Our longest "practice race" is almost a half an hour long. And we hit stuff and each other, hard sometimes, and keep going. These things are just plain fun. Seriously you check ride height, clean the fuzz out of the car, charge the battery and it's ready to go again.
