The rocket science tjet tires actually work great as AutoWorld rears. I simply doubled them up with the tire grooves on the outside. At least I found a use for them.
I'm due for a tire order. The last batch of Heisters I got from JAG had nasty looking outer side walls, as though the mold(s) had not been cleaned. This was not just one type/size, it was across my last order. I've always liked them on the track, because they are a good "dirt" tire. Most annoying as I generally buy bulk. Grrrrrr.
Based on your Okee dokee, I'm gonna give it a whirl, and do a buffet style sampling for a few models. Lil' 'sperimenten' never hurts!
The "aftermarket" industry has always been scketchy. Valve covers, intake manifolds, you name it, it almost fits. After you work on it for a while...
You would think that they would make a prototype and say "Nope, this ain't close enough". But no... in fact, many things are "almost right" for years and years without being updated.
And so it goes with slot car tires. For a while (pre-blog days) I was using various Tyco tires. Some where better than others. Some I probably got at a hobby store.
Regardless, they were coming off the wheel. You do what you gotta do, and as mentioned, I applied a little silcone to the wheels and slid the tires on and let them sit.
It was less than optimum, but it was fine.
I have never had a problem with that with Supertires.
