Hi guys,

Anybody ran these tyres ?

How are they? What conditions do they like? Are they durable? LOL

Also found these:

Been told these two will fit.

What does the "non-evo" part mean? Are these bigger/smaller, less off-set than evo wheels?

Seems like a good deal. =)

Cheers

Sorry forgot: Thinking about running these on my Punisher =)

Yep the 'STEP STUDS' Are a great tyre, an they work well on most everything, grass,dirt,loose, tarmac lol

Durability wise, they do 3 compounds HARD (last for ages, a PIG to fit) MEDIUM (last really well, an great on anything) SOFT (grip is awesome, an work on anything you put them on, do wear fast though)

The wheels

Those are a KING COBRA Wheel (rossendale models is owned by KING COBRA, an they are the importer for many Different models, MCD/FG, an many others, they also make a lot of their own stuff as UpGrades), an the EVO part is in reference to the MCD

the very current model is the Evo4 ............ mine an Iain's are Evo3's ........... But those wheels DID fit on the Evo2 version, but the offset is no go for the Evo3
They will however fit on FG/Harm/Hormann, an others .......... Including the PUNISHERS

They will be thinner at a guess than the FTX's ones, much more like the MCD ones, so shouldnt loose you any Lock, an may even GAIN you some bud GOOD

Just about to fit these tyres, but am a total virgin with inserts that are strips..

Is the tyre glue appropriate for the inserts as well?

Used tyre glue on previous foam (none moulded) and it set hard as glass, perhaps another type of glue is needed for the inserts.

Totally fine bud
I've often used super glue, an yes it does set just the same, an Gets very hot laugh

Cool, cheers Mark =)

Went for medium compound in the end, read somewhere the hard compound is quite fiddly to fit.

Hopefully the mediums will be a good compromise between performance and durability =)
