[STEPHEN11]

hi, i have a set of kronos touring wheels, i don't use them much as the fhg lorry slicks are better in carparks(imo)with better grip, also have some 1/4 scale drag tyres made by sld, these are tyhe most grippiest tyres ve ever seen on tarmac!! you don't even have to warm them up like the othe onroads.

There are oodles of FG Truck tyres on ebay, also look for F1 tyres like GRP, Roadies or PMT.

You don't need to run the wide tyres on the back, you can just run the narrow front all round if you like - the choice is yours.

If you're using FG truck tyres would recommend M1 for the front and S1 for the rear, this was the most common tyre compound choice of 90% of the truck racers back when it was popular in the UK and Europe.

they don't come with wheels, i had to glue then on,your best bet is to get the wide fg lorry slicks,if you want them wide as the sld 1/4scale slicks are no longer made.i was very lucky to get them. i have 4 touring tyres for sale, 2pmt 2 grp.but they arnt as grippy as the sld's by amile,but the buggy will turn better once you get traction,if you get traction.

from left to right
SLD 1/4 SCALE drag slicks on fg monster wheels, stupidly grippy on carparks,don't have to warm them up.
MCD XYZ street tyres on fg wheels, once warmed up,enough grip to wheelie!
MCD gravel soft tyre, great for the front wheels as they are real soft,
FG lorry slicks,very grippy once warmed,nice smalklish wheel for good acceleration.
PMT/GRP touring tyre, very small,good acceleration,but lower top speed.takes alot more to get to grip!
ive considered buying the wheels n tyres that sharky put a link up, they look amazing,better withy the leo wheels imo.
