Hi again,I have a scalextric sport track & am building a rally track. What tyres would you recommend I get for my rally models? I want them to drive like real rally style being able to slide for corners etc but still put traction down too. Thanks in advance again.

My standard go-to for my rally cars are the WASP 01R urethane tyres. Urethane works nicely on Sport and other surfaces giving grip and plenty of slide. They look the part with a realistic tread pattern.
Alarmingly, I can't see them in stock anywhere, but you could ask MC Slots:

I will second Andy's suggestion. I also like the way they look - very "Rally".
Hopefully WASP can revive production.

It's a real shame that Wayne at WASP slot isn't really doing tyres now.
He was so helpful, with a really good product, and there was even lists of which tyres fitted which models. Made it so much easier.
I got into his tyres from Woodcote's suggestion, which was one of the best bits of help and advice I've had.
He does still produce tyres occasionally, but only it seems for the already mentioned mcslots.
Another port of call might be Sandbach slot cars. Mark does some really good stuff, which is expanding, and from memory he lists two different types of "rally tyres".
