Default 1/10th Kyosho McLaren MP4/5B Tyres

Hey Everyone,

I'm new here, so apologies if this has been taked about before, but I'm in the process of bringing an old RC car that I had back to life and already managed to figure out the electronics part. The issue is that I can't seem to find tires for it, so having good electronics is of no use.

The original tires are cracked and misshapen, so I need new ones. The wheel dimensions are very different from anything I can seem to find at the moment.

Front wheels are 38mm diameter by 25mm width. Rear wheels are 38mm diameter by 37mm width. Original front tires are 55mm and rears 58mm outer diameter.

I can't seem to find anything that size at all. I'm not too worried about the diameter being slightly bigger or smaller as the margins aren't too critical, but they can't be too far off either because of the front wing.

Inside the rear wheel, the nut that makes it spin is a 12mm nut with a 4mm shaft, in case anyone knows of a tire/wheel combo that could fit.

I don't mind tyres being foam or rubber.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Kind Regards,
Bruno
