Reuse the existing ansmann wheels, tyres and inserts then are like £20 max.

Re-use the insert as well.

The standard insert on the ansmanns is terrible. I would recommend for the sake of £2 to get a Schumie tubby for the rears at the sametime.

That's why. Unless you've got tarmac tyres avoid tarmac.

I'll be quite honest and say i have no idea on the difference - I assume that the tubby is just 'bigger' lol
Tyre removal, 1. Slice tyre with a suitable knife, 2. Remove crappy foam insert, 3. Fill an OLD pot/pan with water, 4. Open windows/put on extractor fan, 5. Put wheels and split tyres in pot/pan, 6. Bring to boil and leave for 20mins or so boiling, 7. Remove wheels and tyres (not with hand ! lol) 8. Peel off tyre from wheel. I've done 5 sets now with no problems |

use ACETONE for the removal of tires (it depends on which glue you use)

1. Buy a clip down lunch box... Asda £2 2. Buy Acetone.... Hair salon suppliers 3. Get a little block of wood about 1inch thick and place at the bottom of the lunch box 4. Poor the acertone into the lunch box and fill till your about 5mm from the top of the 1 inch piece of wood 5. Place tyres on top of wood and NOT into the liquid 6. Clip the top on the lunchbox and leave for about 24hrs 7. Make sure you do step 6.... Or you will be as high as a kite 8. After 24hrs simply peel off your old tyres from your rims... Foam in tact.... rims in tact... JOB DONE 9. Use remaining Acetone to do you r nail varish ( or is that just me )

Basically if you buy tyres for racing on a track then you shouldn;t use them to bash in the road as this will wear them out in no time.
Track tyres are designed for maximum grip and are therefore soft. Tarmac tyres are harder and designed to last longer, but will be rubbish on a carpet or astro track. If you are serious about racing then you won;t need to go bashing in a street as this won;t help your car, tyres or driving ability. Buy a monster truck or something for the street!!
