I came a cross this grasshopper 2 in a complete ebay auction. I love to build one with similar wheels but I can't work out what size they are or where they're from.

The front tires appear to be Pro-line Striker II's, but they are aren't the 2.2 version because they only have 3 zip-zag thread which makes them to narrow as the 2.2 version have 5 zipzags.

The rear tires apper to be Pro-line Road Hawg II's, but again they seam to small in the image to be 2.2 version.

anyone have any ideas about these tires and wheels ?

Don't know about the front wheels, but the rear wheels are Tamiya Wild One painted silver.

The tyres are Proline Strikers on the Front and Road Hawgs on the rear. These aren't the same as the Striker IIs and Road Hawg IIs, they are the originals that are for 2" wheels, not the modern ones made for 2.2" wheels.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking they might be, but having never seen the orginal Strikers or road hawgs I wasn't sure. I did a little more research and looks like its got, 1.9-2.0" diameter 1.5" wide rear wheels and 1.9-2.0" diameter 1.33" wide front wheels. It give the car a balanced look that I like, I sure it will cost me a small fortune get the right tires but I want the that look.
