Vintage Tires

well i got my vintage tires in the mail today. 2 of the for sets are the team losi staggered four row tires. these are from back in the day when i raced as a kid. before foams were needed and before there were different tire compounds. these are the tires that it seemed everyone ran locally.
now after scooping out the local track and seeing that it was real dirt and not blue groove red clay i wanted a tire that would bite on that surface. so in my opinion these hard compound tires will do the trick. and as a bonus i wont have to worry about them wearing out lol.
now here’s the problem. the b4 rims are a good deal wider than the classic wheels. the b4 wheels are also 2.2″ and the tires are 2.15″. the tire will be a snug fit. but the b4 rims will need to be narrowed to use the tires.
in the first pic from left to right we have:
- pink b4 rim that has had some trimmed off to narrow it.
- orange vintage losi wheel to compare to
- pink b4 rim that is unmodified
in the second pic we have from left to right
- vintage team losi staggered 4 row tire mounted on narrowed b4 wheel
- stock b4 tire and rim
well i don’t know how this will do on the track but if nothing else i will be different than everyone else out there.
