      Take it down to your local hobby shop and find out the size of your tyres and what ever other specs you are not sure of.

      Pretend like you are going to buy heaps of stuff. Then just go home and find the best prices on e-bay!!!

      Semi wides are 9.5mm wide. Don’t know which cars they suit.

      Flat tyre is better than normal tyre because more contact with the graound.

      Normal is rounded, and when brand new they’re like cheese cutters, with only about 3mm of the 8.5mm tyre in contact with the ground.

      Normal – is 8 mm wide and rounded tyre, which is for all Mini-Z front wheel, and some normal Mini-Z rear wheel. Such as ECHO, Viper, Subaru, RX7, Lancer, Porsch, Beetle, Focuse, AE86, S2000, BMW Z8, etc.

      Normal Flat – is same as Normal but FLAT.

      Semi Wide – is 9mm wide tyre, which is design for optional wheel, Kyosho wheel parts: MZH8/8S,MZH6/6AM,MZH3, etc.
      Those wheels are design for the normal wheel base car as rear wheel to make it wider than normal.

      Semi Flat – is same as Semi Wide but FLAT

      Wide – is 1cm wide tyre, which is for wide wheel base Mini-Z, such as Benz, Supra, NSX, Diablo VT, Skyline GT-R, F40, F50, F355, F360, Prosch GT3R, Corvette, LANCIA’78, ENZO, F575, 350Z, Melean F1GT, etc..

      hehehe… you’re both wrong… 11.5mm or 10.5mm(not 1cm, most definately NOT 10cm wide… wtf!?!?!) is the rear size of AMG, Supra, NSX,(Tim!!!) etc. The rears have no offset, but the fronts off these models have standard width wheels, with 2.5mm (approx.) offset. Narrow bods use 8.5mm all round, with no offset. Others, like Jay-Z’s WRX or Kevsta’s Ferrari have custom offsets… My XaNaVi has 11.5mm rears, with an additional 1.5mm offset. H e a p s wide!!!

      Sorry All, and Thank you guy,

      I check the information from Kyosho Web-site. The correct tyre size is 25?8.5mm for front/normal 25×9.5mm for semi-wide and 25x11mm for wide tyre. Please keep update me if it is in-correct.

      Thank you.:D
