Measuring Your RC Car Tires You will need a precision caliper to determine the width of the rim; an inch ruler will not give accurate measurements, which will in turn result in a trial-and-error search for RC tires. Dividing the width by two will get you the radius of the tires, which is how they are sold.
How are RC crawler tires measured?
There are two primary tire sizes for rock crawlers and scale vehicles. More specifically the 1.9 or 2.2 refers to the diameter of the wheel and, of course, the corresponding inner diameter of the tire. While the difference sounds small, 2.2 tires are generally larger in overall size than most 1.9 tires.Dec 2, 2013
How do you figure out what size tires you can fit?
The two digit number after the slash mark is the aspect ratio which measures the tire's cross-section to it's width. If the tire size is 255/60 R16, the 60 means that the height is 60% of the tire's width. The bigger the aspect ratio, the bigger the tire's sidewall will be.
How do I know what size wheel I need?

How do I keep my RC tires from cracking?
Gluing. Cheap cyanoacrylate (superglue) is the obvious choice for rebonding any cracks in tyres but I'd suggest you use something more flexible for longer lasting results, either a “flexible” variety of superglue, or a synthetic rubber glue I've been trying out Stormsure “Black”.
