Go to this site and search for Jaco 1/10 nitro it will bring you to the tires I am talking about. Shore 35 all around will work well. Depending on your car set up you can use 35 shore and 40 shore will work as well. You can try them 35 shore in the back and 40 up front. If you dont' get enough steering reverse them or adjust chassis.
P/N LXVCB1 and LXVCB3 are the Jaco part numbers.
But these are the tires that will fit your car. They fit the 12mm hex drives that are on your car.

also remember that 26mm fit on the front and 30mm fit in the rear, so you cant really swap them. get like a lower shore(softer tire) for the rear and a higher shore(harder tire) on the front. it worked best this way when i has driving one of this.

Thanks for telling me that. I just bought this car and assumed I could use 30mm all the way around. Alot of my other Nitro cars can use the same all the way around.
Thanks again.

Well, a car could have 30mm fronts and 26mm rear, but when you look at it, its gonna look weird! Usually harder shore rating goes to the front, softer for the rear, but it all depends on how it handles. Just my 2 cents (i dont know why people say .02 cents, that's a really small quantity, just stating the fact here!)
