Need road tires for zx-5
Hi all,
I just bought my ZX-5 here in the Netherlands a week ago, and my son has bought a Tamiya "Rising Storm". Since we are in the middle of the city we don't get to some dirt/sand quickly. My son has already worn a set of off-road tires within the week (all the profile is gone  ). So this afternoon I bought him a set of carson CV-10 road tires, and they are great on his Rising Storm. I thought that I could use them on my ZX-5 aswell, but the rear tires don't fit (the rims scrape the lower suspension arm).I have been searching for a couple of days now to find me a set of road tires for the ZX-5 but I just cannot find them. Can anybody give me a hint on where to find those. They may be pre-glued of just loose tires and rims, I don't care. And maybe a hint or two on what to look for when choosing a set of rims and/or tires. Best regards (Newb)B4M

Thnx
Okay Mike, thnx for the tip.
I do like the Anaconda tires, and also like the rims. Is there anyway I can find out If those traxxas rims will fit my ZX-5 ? Offcours I can alway put them on standard Kyosho 2.2" rims , but I sure like these rims: http://www.traxxas.com/products/elec...ana_blachr.jpg But I can't seem to find ANY specs of these rims ... like if it has 12mm hex connection, or what the offset is. Cheers B4M edit : as far as I can see , the inside spokes are on the same "height" as the edge of the 12mm hex cavity, which is the same problem with the road tires I bought for my son.

If you like to spend $$$.
 use Proline Dawg Hawk front and rear. That fit your 2.2 inch wheels. If not... a worn Proline Holeshot M3 will do the trick. I used a half worn Tamiya on road.
