need tire opinions on glue and rims
 
so i just got my ebay auction, duratrax warhead stock tires, and proline road rage tires with half offset rims. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=220335715421

the road rage's have off set rims, the duratrax don't. all tires were barley glued so i removed them from rim. the rims are almost brand new, the chrome isn't even flaking.
Question is should i keep the road rages on the offset or use the offset rims the offroad tire?

also for tire glue anyone try http://www.gorillaglue.com/glues/superglue/index.aspx it say impact strength:lol:

or is tire specific super glue really that much better (shock resistant) and what not

also do you know what brand the blue rim is?

lastly is 13.6 oz heavy for a monster truck tire w/ rim and foam ?
sorry for question purge
thanks

i would advise using the medium thickness super glue main cuz they will come off clean when you boil them to change tires. Not sure if gorilla glue will

Only dudes I know who make blue rims are RPM. I dont know the glue from experience but I heard it turns brown and takes a turd after a few weeks.. get some thin super glue. $4 cant go wrong

for the thin or medium glue recommended is that just any CA or tire specific
. and what makes tire specific glue any better or is it just CA labeled for my ignorance :lol:

as I understand it(my educated guess) super glue is ca glue, and isn't tire specific. I have used super glue and ca tire glue interchangeably and gotten the same results.

gorilla glue, silicone, anything you want will hold a tire on, with ca or super glue tere are ways to get the tire off

Skip the glue and get a set of beadlocks!!! I don't know if I'll ever run glued tires on my MT ever again!

I run silicone with my beadlocks. I've tried pro-lines, axials, and maximizers, and like maximizers the best, but have still had the bead pull out in spots. The silicone gives a little extra hold and cleans up fairly easily.
