Just about every set of silicone tires I have purchased for original Aurora AFX cars are about 1/32 or so wider than the width of the wheel.

1) Does anybody have a source for silicone tires which match the exact profile of the original AFX tires?

2) Also, can you still purchase spounge tires for Aurora AFX cars?

Thanks,

I get PVT tires and they always line up

Unfortunately, almost all tire makers don't take account of the Afx's inner flange on the rear tires. Jel Claws does but they've gotten spotty reviews. You can try Weird Jack's tires. Or go with the AW/JL tires......They're a silicone/rubber hybrid which works pretty well on routed track (especially after a vaseline rubdown).

For spongies, try Jag Hobbies, Slotcar Central, or Slotcar Johnnies.

Yep pvt tires are great, Buds tires also line up nice and are trueable (sp?)

Buds tires work REAL well on AFX, M/T, and X/T. Wierd Jacks butt uglies are awesome too, theyre nice and low, have a nice mix of grip and slide and you can true them real easy.

Hi:

We race AFX/M-T in our club, FRHO. Try this:

You should end up with the rear tire and rim about .446 - .448 just the right size!!!!

The tires are little short for the rim, but place a really small O-ring on the inside of the rim to take up the space.

Works wonders!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
