Ooops, you're correct that it does come with tires. I was thinking of usable tires.
The included ones will be good to try out but you will really need to find out what tire compounds are working at the track.
One of our new 1/12 racers is doing OK with an older AE RC12L. He put the 1 cell on the right of the chassis and all the electronics on the left side. It has nice speed but doesn't transition well.
