No problem.

Be careful to get the tires with the foam included, as the rubber is too soft and must be used with something inside.

Heh heh, I already ordered them, and there's no mention of foam being included. I'll have to see if it is included after all or not, but if not I can probably 3D print some flexible inserts with TPU that would do the trick

I see........that should also work :)

I must admit, these WPL RC tires fit perfect only at this old LEGO wheels.

But these wheels can't be used with 3pin steering hubs. For myself I decided to print custom wheels.

Very cool, @rm8! I'm not opposed to printing rims myself, so something like that could be a good option

I finally found some tyres which MAY fit on the 42172 Mclaren P1 rims (or other rims of the same size) but they are unavailable :(

They are around 2mm too narrow but may stretch out a little, hopefully the grooves in the rims are not too narrow for the tyre to sit in also.

Does anybody know of a good replacement for the 75mm spiky wheels from the ford raptor? I kinda accidentally made the rear tires of my brushless 42077 bald, so now I'm searching for a better replacement. I found some on aliexpress, the ones for rm8's baja truck, but I'm sceptical about their grip level.

Judging by the page, these are 1.55" tires, which fit racing small rims (ones for 1:12 cars). Maybe its the wrong link?

Cada's this one is same size with raptor but it doesn't look like sold separately.
