I have to be honest - that's a pretty good question (I've never owned an ESC with reverse). check the instructions with the ESC to see if there's any info that answers the question...

The "original" treaded vintage tires are specified by part number as the only acceptable tire. Clubs are, of course, welcome to modify this rule to suit their own needs, but really why would they do that?
The "one tire" rule removes one more potential area for folks to spend money buying all three (now) tire types (and the wheels to go with them) looking for an advantage. If EVERYONE is on the same tires and inserts then nobody is at any disadvantage to anyone else (perceived or otherwise) as regards tires.
One of the ideas behind this class was to take the equipment as much "out of the picture" as was possible.

If the current rules specify part number then I wouldnt change anything. If not then I would use the old part number since these are no longer the only treaded tire.
I have to admit that I wouldnt protest if someone showed up running them. They dont look like they would handle any better. Just differrent. My feelings might change if people start holding better in the corners with the new treaded tire.

Hey Robk. I just wanted to let you know that there are two new sets of rims out that comply according to the current wording of the rules. I dont think you will have a problem, but I thought everyone should have a look. Im planning on getting a set. They look like the old stamped steel rims.
