TCS (Tamiya Championship Series) logo molded onto tire

Mounting and glue instructions:
Carefully insert the included foam insert to the inside of the tire. Make sure to position the insert so there are no uneven bumps.
Make sure to use a hand drill to make one 2mm hole on each wheel. The hole is needed to release trapped air once the tire is glued and it provides the necessary air gap when using rubber tires.
Slip the tire from the outside face onto the wheel. The outside side wall of the tire will lie over the flat outside face of the wheel.
Position and line up the outside and inside side walls and apply CA (super glue) around the complete edge and let air dry.
