Hellooooo,

I need help with tyres. I do not know what size or type to get.
The vehicle that I will install them on will be an Associated TC4 Club Racer Kit.
http://www.modelsport.co.uk/associat...roducts/368681
I will be using the vehicle on tarmac and concrete mostly, but I might use it on a heavily varnished sports hall a few times. But, remember, mostly on tarmac and concrete.
Also, if you can suggest any tyres for me that would be great , but my budget for tyres is £10 - 15. This is for all 4 tyres. I know it is low, but I am spending a lot on the vehicle.

Thanks.

I recommend the HPI x patterns, and whatever wheel you want.

ok thanks - I won't buy them off this store as I am in the UK and I will buy some differant wheels, but that gives me an idea on the size and the type of tyre, thanks.

The correct original word is tire.... Nowadays everything goes : tyre, tya(ghetto),etc...... Not the way it should be !

So you're dictating how the world should pronounce everything hey? Look outside your own country, there is a whole world out there!

FYI

ChickenRC

and I thought I was getting a break off school........
alright, I made a spelling mistake (or maybe 4 or 5 or more), but please, back onto the subject?

ChickenRC

actually, no i didn't make a mistake.

"Tire and tyre both mean a covering for a wheel, usually made of rubber. Tire is the preferred spelling in the U.S. and Canada. Tyre is preferred in most varieties of English outside North America. Of course, all English speakers use tire in the sense to grow weary."

I'm English BTW. You lot are probably American? Just a guess from the description of Tyre/Tire above.

You have to remember we say and spell (and do) things differently.

Although on this site, as I'm typing this, tyre is underlined in a red squiggly line so this site thinks I'm wrong too. Meh, maybe i am, maybe i'm not. Anyway it doesn't matter, more help on T*res <--

Pfft, this must be getting close to being the most stupid thing you have ever said Berty. Both spellings tire and tyre were used in the 15th and 16th centuries, tyre fell out of favor and but was revived in the 19th century and is the correct and proper spelling for a wheel covering in every English speaking nation other than the USA and Canada, because the USA likes to be different. Just like the USA don't have the metric system because the French own the physical weights and measure standard objects.

ChickenRC

sorry, i know you're on my side in this argument, but I couldn't help but correct
Favor = american english and american/canadian
Favour = Any other type of english

ChickenRC

Back onto the subject of t*res, however you like to say it, i found these

http://www.modelsport.co.uk/dynamite...roducts/370519

I think they look pretty nice.
And I am english, it is an english site. If you're english too, I highly recommend this store if you haven't found them online or anywhere else already.

Maybe some cultural sensitivity training is in order?
