2 pc tire question

[jeffdeoranut]

since there are evidently no aftermarket tires for 1/8 motorcycles, who has suggestions on how to make the 2 pc tires in grim reaper kit look better?

Superglue works very well on some types of two-part vinyl tires.

Also, this stuff has served me well from time to time, especially on the more flexible tires.     

When thoroughly dry, sand the tread area with 180 grit to minimize the seam, and to simulate a 'run' look. Then very thoroughly scrub the entire tire with old-style abrasive Comet, hot water, and a stiff toothbrush. This will remove the shine and give you a surface that looks like rubber.
