Luckily Tamiya is remaking some of it's older tires, since the re-release of some of it's older kits. But, that probably doesn't help you much.

I don't know that Proline is making any of the older style tires. Keep checking ebay, older style NIB tires show up often.

I know CRP seems to have plenty of older style tires that they sell on ebay, but I don't remember many people bitd using CRP tires.

The only tires that Proline has re-re'd is the waffle pattern tires that fit the 1.5 to 1.7 sized wheels (for the Frog/Hornet/Grasshopper). What exactly are you looking for specifically?

Can't say I have seen those before, but I don't pay much attention to MT tires. What label do they come with? The old yellow or the newer blue label?

it should be the older yellow tags w/ the plastic bags. not the cardboard boxes. if i remember right, i'd say they're from around '88 or '89.

Basically im looking for some tamiya style old school tires, big knobs, hard rubber look, not necessarily the "box art" tires that comes with the 6010 rc10, but similiar. Harder to explain that i thought i guess. Basically "era appropriate" tires.

I think Frog and Hornet tires will fit the original RC10 wheels right? Those have big knobs.

The tyres you are trying to find are Tamiya Holiday Buggy tyres. Unfortunately Tamiya haven't re-released it.

The Tamiya Hornet/Frog rears will fit on the original 1.6" wheels no problem
