I have an Avon 200/55/18 on there now. And it has been fine except it was a tad too tall for my custom battery box. I was looking for lower profile tire. I see Metzler has a 200/50/18 ME880
i haven't run Metzler since they paid for a set of Avons to correct my high speed wobble a long long long time ago.

Any thoughts?

And this IS NOT a CT thread.

I know  Dunlop makes a 200-50-18 radial, but my question is, where did you get an 18" wheel for the Valk and are they still available? Do you notice any difference in ride or handling?

Custom RC wheels. They do not make them anymore.
