Big Jon 684 Posted February 28, 2021 On crawlers, whenever I feel like it. On touring cars, when they look like they'll fall apart next run. Off road cars get new shoes when they stop working properly, and the old tires get run on pavement until there's nothing left. Light runners get new treads when they fall apart! Some of the more hardcore crawler guys I hang around with have literally hundreds of scale tires on expensive aluminum headlocks. That's pretty rich for my blood; I guess that collecting wheels and tires is something that they enjoy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Problemchild 2149 Posted February 28, 2021 Yup - about the same as you mate - I’d say there may even be a few more runs left on them JJ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
