Default Where to buy tires (Monster slicks)?

Anyone in the US carry the Monster slicks? Krikke has them but the shipping is a real bite...Be nice to find them stateside somehwere.

I ordered my MB from Krikke and shipping was only $100.00. Shipping for these 4 tires shouldn't be too bad. I think the prices on the site show the taxes, we don't have to pay them. www.fgperformancerc.com is the sole US distributor for Krikke parts now. Send Michael an e-mail and ask him what he can get them for you for, then you won't have to pay the big shipping charges.

snoopitalian, I ordered the slicks from Ron Krikke, but they are backordered. I've got to shoot him an email now that I think of it.

Thanks guys. I guess I'll email FGPerformance and see if they can get these or backorder them from Krikke. Are the slicks made by Krikke?

The slicks aren't made by Krikke, because he's waiting to get them from his supplier! Can this be? Wonder where it all ends!

Someone else has to carry these...I emailed Ron at Krikke and he is still out of them and FGPerformance doesn't carry them right now, maybe later...Does anyone here actually have a set of these tires already?

Actually, I was looking for something between a pure slick and the tread style for the MT/MB. The new "Forty-sixes" seem like a good option, since we can use Pro-line/other makers. Anyone out there with experience with this combo yet?

I would rather have the full size slick tires and wheels myself, rather than a smaller wheel size, not to mention glueing plastic wheels is tough enough as is, I don't even want to mess with glueing alloy wheels, then have to try and remove the wheels from them once they need replaced.

Actually i said the same thing, but you can boil the alloys and the old tires and glue will come right off.
