I am new to this sport as evidenced by this question. But this whole business about purchasing different tire and rim combinations for my cars is slightly confusing. I have a Kyohso Landmax and an Inferno MP 7.5 - I'd like to get some road tires for the Landmax and I'm sure I will need tires at some point for the Inferno. In the spec sheet for the Landmax it says "Tires: 40mm X 90mm", using my one good eye this appears to be the width and height of the tire. Looking on line I see ads for 40mm tires and they don't even look close.

If anyone knows of a chart or can simply tell me how to determine what tires/rims I should buy I would be spared hours of grief I'm sure. Not mention the expense of buy the wrong stuff.

Thanks,

No kidding I still haven't got this all figured out. For the on roads it's not a problem, but for the trucks it's suckage.

the 40mm is the with of the rim that the tire must be to fit that particular rim. Any 40mm tire will fit the rim. For example, the Pro-Line 40series are all 40mm rim tires but some are 5.75in tall and others are more than 6.5in tall. You just have to choose the tire height for the allication you want.

I found those to. I actually bought a body from that guy. The problems is the 19mm wheel stoppers. Mine uses 23mm.

Thanks for the help.

I found a post that says I can use 2.2 tires. Converted that is 55.88mm / my rims are 62mm. What does the 2.2 stand for?

It appears there are three dimentions to be concerned with.
1. Tire witdth
2. Tire height
3. Rim size

And hex size (rims)

Unless there is a hidden number or something I'm missing completely - there is no mention of rim size (diameter). Within a particular scale (1/8) are all Buggy rims the same diameter?, How about On-road?
