A while ago I bought pre mounted tires that were factory glued.
I can't remember the name of the company and want to get some.
I know Sportwerks comes ready to go, but there was another company.
Anyone???
 
Trust me I will.
I liked the pre glued because they seem tougher for some reason.

There tougher because The bead is glued Consistent..Just like ofna's tire gluer does!
 
If you drive on less than perfect terrain, here is what I run (only I glue my own). Badlands will find traction on just about anything, uproot it, and shoot it at the car behind you. You will see roost flying several feet skyward at times with these. Seriously, the lugs are tall enough that some people re-gear because of them.

EDIT: If you change your mind on the pre-glued sets, you can get some Panther Tire Bands and a bottle of R/C grade super glue, its not that tough to do up a set yourself(messy though).

I am not sure about the tire gluing machines, I have heard some that swear by them, and some that say they don't work. If you do end up getting one of those, go to one of the overseas shops that sells it as Hobao (instead of OFNA). Even WITH THE SHIPPING its like a little over half the price of buying it in the U.S.

they aren't pre-glued but I am liking those performance devices wheels I got.....they are really cheap (like 30 for a whole set rims and tires)
 
I ordered some sportwerks tires on ebay.
I'll use them for practice.

Thanks for the help guys.
 
Ahhh . . . have some thin CA handy. Every single S.W. tire I've owned for my Mayhem has busted loose, many times. I keep having to clean them up, dry them and reglue them. Sorry. :opps:
