Tyres are available from the onsite shop for around £7 per axle. You will also need inserts as well and some superglue to hold it all together. All is available from the shop
What car are you running? The shop stocks primarily associated and losi spares..

Cool. Bally is ace and stocks loads of Durango bits.

Tyres needed are either Schumacher mini pins OR mini spikes (new floor has great grip so can getaway with either - if you're new I'd suggest spikes. They offer a smoother transition between surface)
Bally can also recomend you an insert. I don't know what he's stocking at the moment but he's raced at York so knows the score there

Good luck!

The Answer RC inserts are great from Bally:
http://www.rccarshop.co.uk/index.php...rt-medium.html
I use them or the ones that Castle models sells (onsite shop at York club).
I get job lots from Castle when I can. Both are great, and reusable many times.
I've only had problems with the schumacher inserts breaking up after one use, so I avoid them now.
