Wheel/tyre swap

Post by andy-kitt » Fri Feb 19, 2016 1:09 pm

I see the base version of the Hot Wheels 1:18 Knight Rider has improved tyres, does anyone know if these better tyres can be swapped with the square tyres on the Elite version as that is the only thing that spoils the Elite version?

In case any one was curious (I guess by no replies no one else has done this), you can swap the tyres as I have now done this.

Did you swap just the rubber tyres or the whole wheel? Any photos?

I just swapped the tyres, you have to peel the tyre off and rotate the wheel as you apply the tyre to the wheel again.

Thanks for this information...finally it makes total sense for me to buy the heritage Version...just to upgrade my elite one....coz these old tires realy suck next to my elite karr :)
Thanks again
