With the 2WD tyre rules changing for the 2009/'10 season to come more inline with other countries and allow for closer racing, with only 18th scale wheels and rubber tyres being legal for the national series and events running to official BRCA rules, I've had people keep coming up to me at races saying they can't find 2WD wheels and tyres anywhere!
I find this kinda strange because I've NEVER had any problems obtaining them, but to help all you folks out I've complied a list of wheels and tyres below compatible with the most popular 2WD chassis out there, the Losi Mini-T range (inc Mini-Baja and Mini-Desert Truck) and the Thunder Tiger ZT-2/ZK-2. I'll update the list from time to time too so it's worth checking back every once in a while for any new additions.
Tamiya GB01/02 owners are pretty much limited to Tamiya's own range as far as I know, so are best of checking out
Tamiya's web site for any new releases, and the bottom of this page for part numbers of there current wheel and tyre range.
If you local hobby shop doesn’t have any stock on the shelves then point them in the direction of the UK distributors which are:
Amerang (Thunder Tiger),
CML Distribution (Proline, RPM, Team Associated),
Horizon Hobby (Losi),
Much More Racing (3Racing),
RC Model Imports (GPM) and The Hobby Company (Tamiya).

Losi Mini-T Tyres
Tyres are the most important aspect of any kind of motor racing and radio controlled micros are no exception. Losi do an impressive range of tyres for the Mini-T, Mini-Baja and Mini-Desert Truck range of chassis for racing on various surfaces from carpet to sand. The Mini-Slider/Late Model tyres can also be fitted for use on tarmac tracks...
