REAR: 2"

I am going to order some: LOSA7378S - Losi Step Pin 2.0" Rear Buggy Tires. These look good.
But before i do, are there any other alternative new 2" rear tyres I can click and buy?

FRONT: 2.125"

What are my options for front tires? Purely on looks I am not a fan of ribbed tires. So spikes
or a scale look tread pattern would be ideal. Links to where to buy would be awesome. Or is it an Ebay hunt?



Thanks guys!

Traxxas. They are a great match for the Losi 2.0" to boot.

that's the only others i can think of. ebay for anything else.

Thanks! Super helpful guys

I like the looks of all those rear tyres. Now i am not sure what to go for. Anyone have any preference for one in particular? My car will be used on grass 95%, maybe a little dry dirt 5%. Probably never on road, or really loose gravel.

There are loads of Yokomo tires on Ebay now, but not sure what size they were.

Also I know old Schumacher CAT tires are not too hard to find. Bob Stormer has a few billion for a start Anyone know what size the fronts were?

Here is what I found:

I ordered all the tyres you suggested Scr8p. I'll see which I prefer when I can try them out for real.

Update:

I also ordered a load of different vintage Tamiya and Schumacher tyres. Will let you know how I get on...

Update:

The Losi rear tyres arrived. They are made from a lovely compound. Very soft and pliable. The tread is also rather decent. But I am not a fan of their overall shape. They look like bloated balloons on the buggy, like many new age tyres. They just do not look period correct on a vintage buggy, IMHO. I'll either keep them for a thrashing or sell them.

Various shape Tamiya tyres arrived. In photos they all look lovely. But in reality they feel like horrid plastic. I doubt there is hardly any actual rubber in them. I am sending them back to the shops for a refund. Junk IMHO.

There is some good news however. I may have stumbled upon a lovely solution. More detail to follow in due course...

The Losi Step Pin is fantastic and is a direct mold descendant of the Jammin Jay Step Pin and would be correct looking for a late 80's-90's tire! This Is the best 2.0 tire IMO!

I do love the rubber compound and tread pattern on the Losi. It is just the side walls are rather tall and the whole tire bulges right up in the middle. It looks enormous when mounted.

Did you trim down the foam insert?

No I did not. I did cut them up to try in different tyres though. Should I have done? What difference would it make?

Anyway I have found some other tyres I prefer now.
