Smaller tires?

[Jcplante]

I just got a 1/25 model jeep rubicon and im gonna put my micro axles and tranny in it. The thing is i want it look really scale. The model looks good with the tires that come with it. I was able to use the model rims just by drilling them out a bit and cutting a pin slot, but the tires are really hard and almost useless for a crawler. What im trying to find now are some scale tires just like these but most of them are way to big for the rim and the rest of the jeep

Does anybody have a losi micro dessert truck? The tires from that look close to what i want. I am hoping somebody here has one to give me some measurements.

Did you check the rim size by any chance?

Also how do you think they would be as crawler tires? Are they at least somewhat soft/sticky at all?

The wheel diameter is also right near 1/2"

I am not sure how sticky they are when new, but I would think they would at least get decent traction. Mine are half burned off lol
