Default ??? Tire glue ???

Is a standard super glue okay to use when gluing tires to the wheels? I know they make special tire glue, but was just wondering if super glue is as good.
Thanks

You could use regular super glue. But tire specific glue comes in various thickness for different applications. I prefer very thin CA for doing tires.

Also if you like changing foams and trying different set ups. Shoe-Goo Works well too.

Does the shoe goo allow for easy removal? And reapply more when reinstalling?

I use Team Losi brand Tire glues. Always seem to hold the best for me, especially in Nitro racing where wheel speed can blow tires off the wheel.

I prefer the Team Losi Blue (Med) for larger tires like MT, Truggy, 1/8 Buggy. For my minis and electric 1/10ths I use the Red (thin) whoa it dries fast.

i like using shoe glue the best, it holds really good, and when you want to change tires or foam. you just pull the tire off and then pull the excess glue of the tire and rim. i haven't had a problem with ripping tires yet.
