Scale Tire size clarification for competition

[SoCalRCer]

I'm looking at trying a scale comp, just making sure I understand the tire requirements for Street aka Class 1. It says in the rule book:
http://www.sorrca.com/rules/Rules.pdf
that the max tire size is 106mm or 4.19". So does this mean Flat irons which are listed at 4.20" on the Proline site are out? I was thinking of the Rok Lox too but they are listed at 120mm. Any recommendations? I'm building a Honcho which I thought as stock would qualify.

My only issue with the rules is that they simply didn't call the classes 1.5, 1.9 and 2.2. It would have saved tons of confusion, the honcho is a class 2 or 1.9 truck.

Thank you for the clarification.

I hope this can help you. Class 1 maximum tire size is 4.19 inches.

The legal tires for class 1 would be as follows:

1.55 and 1.9 RC4WD All Terrain
1.55 and 1.9 RC4WD Mud Thrashers
1.55 and RC4WD Rock Crusher X/T
1.55 RC4WD Rock Stompers
1.55 RC4WD Rock Country
1.55 RC4WD Mud Slingers
1.55 RC4WD Desert King
1.55 RC4WD Invader
1.9 RC4WD Prowler XS
1.9 RC4WD Rock Creepers
1.9 RC4WD FlashPoint Military Tires
1.9 RC4WD Rock Stompers
1.9 RC4WD Out Croppers
1.9 RC4WD Mud Slingers
1.9 RC4WD Mud Pluggers
1.9 RC4WD Dick Cepek Mud Country
1.9 RC4WD Trail Busters
1.9 RC4WD Tomahawk

As you can see, Clss 1 actully has a very broad range of tires you can choose from"thumbsup"

Thanks for the breakdown, makes it much easier. Now I just gotta check the rest of the rules to make sure I am in spec.

The reason we didn't do that is because the wheel diameter means nothing. It's the tire diameter that matters. Some 1.55 tires are taller than 1.9 tires. ;-)

So where can I find a complete listing of the requirements for each of these classes?

I've been searching today and can't find one.
