Just three sets? Brother… I have what my friends refer to as a “tire wall.”My closet in the spare bedroom looks like a discount tire warehouse.
If that’s the case him and I should team up for an eBay store called LittleJoJo’s discount used tire emporiumKind of an iside joke @Littlemotor has enough tires to fill a Costco.

See your tire wall looks useful. I don’t have a single full set of one kind of tire or wheel currently. I don’t even know where 90% of them came from. I just can’t bring myself to throw them away, there’s been a few times where having one single obscure tire/wheel saved the day-a couple older shots of what I had mounted up.. Actually about to place another tires/wheels order for (14) sets.. Kinda stuck re-upping now and then until I can figure out how to make the tread grow back..

but at the same time, there is no such thing as too many.. 
If you need to count them, you have too many
I'm off to count my RC's......
I think my tire pile is bigger but only because a lot of them are larger scale.-a couple older shots of what I had mounted up.. Actually about to place another tires/wheels order for (14) sets.. Kinda stuck re-upping now and then until I can figure out how to make the tread grow back..

Oh god, don't ask about wheels/tyres.. totally lost count and almost need a second room for them..
Balanced? What's that like? I'm just trying to keep em on the rims so they dont shred. I guess maybe i could apply glue like a wheel weight.....Tough to run without any..
I’ve got (51) sets that are mounted, glued, & balanced. Not even a CLUE how many more that are not, and stowed away. Then I’ve got another (14) sets incoming..

They all get used, I’m not a collector lol…CALL 1-TIR-EAD-DICT.
Its because I care man!
Admitting you have a problem is half the battle... just sayin.
Ok... you use 4 tires at any one time when you drive... but how many can you juggle?So as I understand it then-I’m already halfway there from not admitting anything…

Admit to nothing, always, ever!!!
) that tires are THE #1 tuning option in off-road surface RC. Being as my track is not a climate controlled, meticulously groomed, indoor facility; conditions vary wildly. If we divide the current (51) sets amongst (8) vehicles, that’s a solid (6) sets per vehicle which is about where any off-road guy would wanna be. Some do see more use than others obviously.
So maybe not a tire addiction, but you CLEARLY have a tire problem!Goes without saying (usually
What’s absolutely next on my grocery list is a capable tire washing station. My least favorite part of my RC routine maintenance/chores list is undoubtedly cleaning up tires after running, and returning them to the shelves in the shop. I have a crazy amount of time tied up in that alone-every single time I run, so very much looking forward to getting more efficient in that side of things.
My vehicle to tire ratio is correct, so if I’ve got a tire problem-it’s because I have a vehicle count problem.So maybe not a tire addiction, but you CLEARLY have a tire problem!
A dirty tire is a sign of a dirty...
Race track!!!
