Default 2WD front tyres - to glue or not to glue?
Indoors, no problem, I don't glue them on. BUT. We're now going outdoors with minispikes so do I now need to glue them on or am I safe to run them unglued?

Well, mine fell off indoors unglued so id say glue them, better safe than sorry. Just dont use cheap glue, it doesnt work, proline is very good as is most tire specific glue. 95p bottles from boys on the other hand dont really work at all

I always glue to the max.

if you are reluctant to, but they peel off, just put 2 dots per side on and they'll stay on while on the track - but can be scalpalled off easy peasy

Glue all over, down every nook and cranny, a tyre coming off during a run is no good, no point in risking it imo.
