cementsurfer86,

Tamiya make a 55mm tyre for the mini, but it is not that good.

Best 55mm tyres we have found are the Ride for the front and Cross for the rear. They both come with different types of compounds, so heat rating. The Cross comes with either a square edge or round edge.

I have attached a link which has the different types of tyre. Ride also do a 60mm front and rear mini tyre as does Pit Shimizu which have different compounds.

Thanks again to the boys at RC mini net.

BTW

All of these tyres would not be TCS legal as they are not made by Tamiya. The Solaris,(come as hard, medium and soft), Pit Shimizu 60mm tyres and the larger Rides are not on the list. For inserts you can get Spice 5mm and 5.5mm fitted inserts in hard, medium and soft and Ride and Solaris do a 4.1mm insert in green, orange and yellow. This is the same as hard, medium and soft. Cross also have fitted inserts however I think by memory they are 4.3mm in size and come in differnt hardness. The Spice 5mm, 5.5mm in medium and the green ride/solaris insert are also popular.

Later,

Calvin.
