The colorful ones are Matrix 1/8 scale foams where I painted the rims white and hydro dipped them in this foil:

The wide ones behind them are the 54/100 Powerhobby Grippers. To the right of them are the 42/100 versions.

Let me know how they hold up. They cost me way too much money to get here and I'm too chicken to risk them. It cost me like $140 for a set of four. Two slim, two wide.

IKR? No one in Europe sells them. Shipping costs and import fees are outrageous. But I wanted 'em so badly for the fat boy look on the rear end of my Porsche 917K Gulf livery to complete the look and no one else makes anything comparable so I ate the cost. I didn't want to go Felony tires because then I would have had to swap rear diffs each time I swapped tires. I like wrenching and all, but not that much.

IMO those Powerhobby Grippers are one if the, if not the best looking onroad tires.

These Bandito CT's aren't the best but Damn do I get good times with them.

Had the Hoon 100's on them the other day, doing near 70.

Tried the Hoon 107 Whites today, its cold out today. ALL over the place. Ass end all squiggly. Hard time breaking 50! Too wide, turns horribly. Not good.

Threw the Bandito's C2's on and will hitting 80-85 which is about as fast as this will go! Takes distance and they balloon and get unstable but...

I test this GPS now and then from my Honda. Its accurate till about 50, then starts to show lower speeds as it gets closet to 100, then it cuts out.
At 60+ it shows 2-3 mph slower than the cars speedometer.

Oh yes, 5x5 grow tent in the grow room where I grow the green with hydroponics. I'd post some pics but I dunno if I'd get in trouble or not hahaha.

How long is the grow cycle? You know, from little rubber seed to fully ripe tire?

They make the sign-wave of straight cut gears

Got ya beat. But that's def some collection there . Nice.
Will take me some time pulling out my bins full of tires to show.
If I have the time.
I have 17 rigs here in all. I average 2 sets per rig. 200+ wheels give or take. I could probably throw away a few that are too old. Like foams that dry out etc. And some dry rotted tires still New in package that are shot by now. Like 20 years old. I try to keep tires in sealed plastic bags, then in plastic bins. They last way longer.
A few years back I did reveal all of them on a thread.
I have way more now.
