Ok, here we go--1st up 7001 RC10T

which tires are correct? or, the smooth sidewall PRO-90's & the smooth sidewall PRO-45?

Original RC10T came with both narrow and wide front wheels and tyres, didn't it?

The first picture is the typical kit tire setup. The 2nd pic are the tires as shown in the manual and on the box. I'd wager that the unmarked PRO90/45 may have shipped with the earliest production, but have no proof. Still nice to have for your early chassis truck. I'll be getting on my 7001 projects real soon.

Ok, #2 6035 team car--I've looked & looked and get a lot of conflicting info on tire/rim combo's

Well...the Team cars normally had TQ22/TQ72 on white 2.0/2.1 TQ wheels. Towards the end it changed to the 6823/6873 according to AE's wheel and tire catalog, although I only have seen that setup on the all black plastic equipped 6011/6014 CE cars and the 9011 Sport version of the B2. I have a very early four hole shock tower 6036 Graphite car that has TQ21/TQ71, like a 6030 or early 6011 would have.

Good enough?

Almost................ now if you could just locate either of the combo's for me then it would
all cleared up

Ok, Aeiou and I both have six gear Champ car ( mine's all white, early ball cups 4 hole tower ect) I assume his is the same, mine has TQ21/Hot Lap Tr-8's, and his has the TR's as well. Knowing that AE always used Proline or Yoke tires---is there still a chance this was production? Not to answer my own question but it seemed to me more likley that the TR-8 was just a similar tire to the TQ22 and installed after the fact. Wadda ya think?

I just love trivia. Yep, mine also has the same assortment of early production parts.

I have no doubt in my mind that the early CE kits could have shipped with Yoke tires. AE probably had a bunch left over from the 89 Worlds. The tires shown in the 1990 manual look like TR-8's...
