What tires are these?

[machvolum]

I am restoring my kyosho turbo optima and i would like to get some new tires for it. The only problem is, when I try to find the OT-66 tires as listed in the build manual, i keep coming up with the pin type tires bridgestone 340/30/20-M. The tires that were on this when I bought it on ebay are the square lug bridgestone 340/30/20-H. does anyone know what the original pattern for the OT-66 tires is?

The reproduction tire is the correct pattern.

Thank you Dennis! That's what I was thinking, but what are the tires that came with it then?

Different part number. 340/30/20-H

The original optima has -M

FYI. Turbo Optima Mid Special was bundled with the squared ones as an option tire.

As I recall, there were quite a few Option House tire versions available, some with only subtle differences. I have a pair of like new 360/45/20 SS-M, which I believe were the W-5077 Low Height Pin Spike. I don't recall those being standard on anything, just an available option...unless I'm wrong on that...always possible.

Awesome. Thanks. I was wondering what they were originally on. So they were just extra tires that someone had bought at the time and stuck them on it. Because it definitely isn't a mid.

The square block tyres are Kyoshos Option House tyres, they made a range of alternative tyres to fit the wheels. The square block rears are W-5031 and the narrow fronts are W-5034 Hard Track tyres.
