My RC10 Gold pan restore project is going well. I thought that I had a set of tires to use but they do not fit. I have the three piece rims both front and back. What modern day tires can I use with these rims?
Thanks,

which 3-piece rims. I think that the disc style are larger than the slotted original.

Yes, they are... the slots are 2.0s and the solids are 2.25s.

Well...now I'm stumped. I didnt know there was more than one style. I learn something new on here every night.
The rims I have are too small for a 2.2 tire. I'm guessing they might be 1.5??????????

What car are you trying to put tires on?
Gold tub pre CE cars (pre 1990) are 1.75 rear and 1.9 front
CE, TQ10, Graphite and Team cars are 2.0 rear and 2.125 front.

I have the rims in the first photo. Are those what are being called the "slotted" rims?

Ding ding ding, we have a winner. I use the paddle tamiya tires for the grasshopper. They are a nice fit. Don't know about the front. Anything 1.9 I guess.

You can wedge the 1.5 Tammy tires on pretty easy. They look nice with the paddles.

Go with some tamiya subaru brat tires in the back. They are 1.6in and fit perfectly. With its re-release, they are easy to find and have the best tread pattern for both street and dirt use.
The only thing is that you have to trim out the two inner ribs inside the tire.
