I believe the urethane tires have a longer shelf life, that's what appeals to me for the old vintage cars. I have a lot of old vintage cars that don't get run often. With urethane tires I can pull the cars off the shelf and put them on the track, even if just once every couple years, and they will run around the track fine. No sanding or doping of the tires required.

I wonder why we just don't use the BOSA tires on our cars exclusively. Personally I'd rather spend my money on other things than slot car tires. Like whole slot cars.

I had no idea about the 1/24 NSR tires either! Thanks Mitch!

It does have BOSA tires and as stated previously I have some even wider ones but what I don’t have is narrower ones. I had no idea but Mitch is correct. NSR does indeed make tires to fit https://www.professormotor.com/product-p/nsr5245.htm
In both super and ultra grip

In fact it looks like you have BOSAs on there now. There are also some narrower ones available.

They do, for large diameter wheels and small, narrow and wide.

Bought mine from Professor Motor I believe

They work fantastic on my track, but what I found during the DTM race was as I had broken one of my BOSA tires in the afternoon I Trued up some Supergrips and ran a few great laps before I left for Al's. During practice it still ran great laps. As I came into the race after most of the other cars had ran on the urethane tires it was loose and all over the track. It felt like I had Strombecker tires.
These 1/24 scale tires would probably be the same.

The bracket looks great Rico

I may have the correct tires in either urethane or NSR Supergrips.

I put the Supergrips on my 906 and it runs fantastic, but if I race with other guys using Urethanes I might have a dust issue.

The only one like that is in a complete car. I think I have one for a Cox somewhere in a box, but as Bill says they are a bit different.
