RE: 'Go to' tyres? - Johnno - 5th-Jun-20

I know thread is a bit old, however having just learnt the terminology for rim's and tyres etc and having located an actual picture that shows and tells what is what and how to measure I thought I would post that image here as a future reference for us newbies

MrSlotcar MJK Tyre How to Measure

RE: 'Go to' tyres? - DPJ - 26th-Jul-20

Awesome resource! Thanks for that because I've been having a really tough time sourcing what tire fits on what rim. With this now as a blueprint, I can just fill in the dimensions and send it off.

I have used MJK tyres on 1/32 and 1/24 vintage cars and found they were good on a wood track. We also tried them on Racer Sideways Group 5 cars where we use hand out tyres and found they were possibly a little less grippy than Slotit 1207F22 but they don't wear anything like as quickly. We would have bought a batch but MJK had problems following the bushfires in Australia and it has taken them a while to get up and running again.

You can get some Paul Gage tyres from Slotcarsupplies in Wales which saves all the hassle of personal import..

Thanks for the back story, but I was referring to the diagram you posted of the wheel/tire dimensions. I'm in Southern California so unlikely I'll buy tires from Australia.

I must admit I assumed you were in the UK. MJK don't seem to have stockists in other countries so that won't be a lot of help.
