I don't think he's trying to scrap the whole idea, just trying to add concern. Rubber tires and 1/10 sedans are one thing, rubber tires double the width, double the height, and double the weight of a sedan might make it work. Its worth a shot, as someone stated earlier, they are running these cars at leisure hours with fairly decent grip. It might take some experimenting initially with tires and setup, hopefully it'll work out.
There's plenty of choices of rubber tires to choose from, after doing some searching, these are what I've found.
PMT: 3 tread patterns, 10 compunds of tires. 4 standard compounds, 2 wet compounds, and 4 'super racing' compounds (standard compounds are available mounted:
