Street tires are very difficult to build, do you wana mold the rubber?? Probably not, if you want to you can cut your off-road spikes off and thats as close as you can get...

I tried electrical tape, pretty sweet, but to make it slick all the time, you constantly have to keep adding tape, and it kind of messes up your tires.

ooh cool, it works? I can imagine how that would mess up your tires, lmao, i had electrical tape on my bike grips and they turned all sticky, but you can probably fix that by running that car in sand for a few minutes, then go on water and repeat again and whala! this should work, haven’t tried it though.
