...someone needs to tell Kyosho that tires are round.

I almost pruchased an expensive tire truer, because of so many problems with the stock tires. (It appears they make the rubber too thin, and then to get a good fit you must over-stretch and thus deform the tires to get them on the rims).
With the stock tires, hard cornering on high traction surfaces usually results in displacement of the rubber, or worse, a front tire comes completely off. The softer the rubber (lesser degree) the more pronounced the problem. And trying to glue little tires like this is a lesson in frustration as it results in one section of the tire being firmer than the other.
