Differences in sand super tires?

Post by mikedealer »

Is there a size difference between the Scorpion/Advance sand super tires and the Marwan ot30 reproductions? i think they are same tire width, but do they have a slightly bigger overall size?

here is my advance i would like to get new tires for

the OT-33 are for the optima type rim which is a larger diameter then the scorpion type rim.

in short the Ot-33 have a larger diameter rim seat then the scorpion tires and will not fit, sadly there not even close enough to fudge it.
I don’t agree, I have tested the OT-30 on the Scorpion wheels and they fit almost perfect. Scorpion wheels are 1,5” and the OT-30 tires are 1,6”. The other different between Scorpion’s SC-84 Sand Super and Optima’s OT-30 Sand Super is that the SC-84 is slightly wider than OT-30.

The OT-30 tire that Marwan reproduced is for 1,6” wheels (Javelin and Optima) and the Scorpion SC-84 tire is for 1,5 wheels (Scorpion, Tomahawk, Assault…)
I think you refer to the Turbo Optima and Ultima 2” wheels because they are bigger in diameter and OT-30 tires will not fit these wheels.

There is no problem to fit OT-30 tires on Scorpion wheels, I can post a picture if you want…
