tyres

[richp175]

i don't post on here that often but i'd like to ask advice/help on sourcing tyres. i'm using carrera go focus and 307 wheels but want low profile slicks rather that the 'rally' tyres that are fitted as standard. i know the question will be asked as to track i'm using so its going to be carrera go.

any help would be grateful

if you want to keep the wheels standard, there are not much possibilities from my point of view.
What i would do, is to sand down the profile until you get slicks.
My 2nd idea, if i would like to have slicks really bad, is to draw the tires in 3D, have the tire master printed by shapeways in "frosted ultra detail" plastic, sent them to CarGo in germany and get back some high grip tires. (i have no lathe to cut tire master out of plastic, brass, alu or anything alike). The printed way works great for me. And it´s cheaper than to buy a lathe (but i could make wheels on the lathe, which i can have printed, too.... hm...)
sorry, no idea if you can interchange tires with other go!models with slicks.

Ask Carsten, maybe he has an idea or even tyres that fit.
