So its the same manufacturer, so if something is confusing its you. Contact RC has a lightweight rim (i have used them) bought from the UK site. If your shop don't have the lightweight tires, that does not mean they don't exist.

Standard, lightweight and carbon rims, thats the three options for contact rc touring car tires. They also have electric TC tires

And for 1/8th track they have standard, carbon AND lightweight rims. But the UK shop does not sell the carbon tyres for some reason...

This thread is not about the USA Distribution of contact rc tyres. Its about contact rc tyres in general.


So again i ask, how is the stiffness on the carbon rims compered to the lightweight rims?
Has anyone broken a carbon rim on the track?
