Rubber or resin tires?


Recommended Posts

There is some risk of buying just a tire or wheel and match it up with what you have. Resin is rigid, rubber you have a better chance of an acceptable fit. I have had to sand some resin tire inner-diameters to make them fit the wheels.

The positive side of resin is that you can more often find modern tread patterns, or even radials and it isn't really that hard to make them fit if you have a rotary tool with a round sanding drum.
I print my own and do frequently have to size them to fit, but its not really a big problem for me.
