True I suppose, but some are harder to fit than others so I wouldn't just dismiss it like that.

Take for example the Fastrax Bullseyes, they don't have the ring of rubber to seat into the grooves of the wheel, they just end with a flat flap of rubber which is suited to smooth groove-less rims;



Whereas stock HPI tyres have a rubber 'flange' that will seat into the grooves of the HPI wheel, and really are a stronger more reliable match;





You can glue them on stock Blitz rims just fine but make sure you sit them level to the rim and use bloody good glue as all you have holding them in is the strength of the bead of glue.
