Default abs + rubber tires???

Hi i, like to run on smooth surfaces, so i was finding a little hard accelerating and high speed drifting so i made this tires today, so i had my abs pipe tires machined and i super glued a rubber rings on the borders, i hope they work as i´m hoping, i bet a lot of you allready made it, so i just wanted to share.

*tell me what you think about them

Haven't seen that done before but it does look like a nice alternative to Yokomo Zero-One R tires and rings.

You could put grooves around the tyres and tune the traction with rubber o-rings

Those look great! I bet you they work awesome and, as Roy said, they seem like they'd be a great, and cheap, replacement for Yokomo Zero-1 tires. Tell us how they go over.
