Default Maritime next Sunday, tyre choice?

Hi Guys.

My first post on this forum. Been away from RC cars for 15+ years and have recently starting racing at Torch.

I'm off to Maritime next Sunday and was wondering what is the usual tyre choice there for my RC10 B5M?

Cheers in advance people.

Cut stagger yellow no insert front
Mini pins yellow AKA insert

Have fun

If using the std wheels that came with the B5M do you need to cut the wheel so the tyre fits better?
