I'm looking for a decent set of "durable" tires to fit my wide disc wheels,
(standard Manta Ray issue.)

I'm hoping to stick with Tamiya, (so I don't have to glue the bloody
things.) I'm just looking for some tires that will handle tarmac without
wearing out extremely quickly. With the weather being so c**p lately, it's
impossible to get it offroad.

Cheerz,

Can you still get Schumacher Blue Blocks, or Blue RT-1s / RT-2s?

<checks website> http://www.racing-cars.com/

Yes - T692 & T693 for Blocks, U6709 & U6710 for RT1 in 'B30' (not sure
what that compound is though - the other option is Green).

All are 2.0" AFAIK, but can be stretched over 2.2" rims - and will
definitely not need gluing if you do!

HTH,
Jonny

I know you said no glue, but I can't think of any tires that will work
for what you want without gluing. ProLine DirtHawgs are good on any
surface and last long. I had some on my Gravel Hound and loved them.
Drove from pavement to grass to sand to stone and back to pavement and
never felt out of place.
