Default Kyosho Optima OT30 tyres

I have been searching the net for some OT30 original Optima tyres or repros, but there don't seem to be many at moment. I've seen marwen rc do a repro, but they have no stock and I've heard of a Spanish chap making some, but can't find them at all
Any suggestions? What fits and may look similar enough for me to paint on the original "sand super" logo?

No 4WD because nothing lives up to my original Optima. Until now maybe?...

Default Jose is still making the OT30 tyres

In case anyone is interested, Jose relied to me and still has the OT30 tyres available. Can't wait for them to arrive

Thanks for help locating him

Chris

Mine too have now arrived and they are superb. All that is needed was a white paint pen and they are perfect.
Highly recommended

I assume you mean, arrived. Are these tires only good for display, or also offer good traction for a runner?

Yes - revived was a typo that my ipad kindly altered to something else. Mind you, not as bad as when I sent an email out to my sons cub pack reminding them to take wellies. I shan't tell you what my ipad auto corrected it to read.

The tyres seem very good, but I've not run it yet as I'm still rebuilding. I'll post photos soon
