Road tires on Leopard
Hello,
Has anyone used the tires for the road cars on thier offroad cars, As the tires are a lot cheaper than the slicks offered.
i see that hobbythek do one for the marader.
The problem i have is the stearing arm on the alloy uprights do not let you get the tire on enough too use them, the back wheels are ok.
Does anyone make a different alloy arm for the stearing, which would make this possible.
The reason is that it would be great to slap on a set of road tires to do some tar driving now and again.

Hello,
You could change the steering arms for the Touring car ones, if they unbolt on yours, or put the longer spindels in the front and use the 14mm wheel drivers and the wheels should clear.

A set of Formula 1 tires and rims works great for on road driving the Leopard.
