Should You Buy It?
Before choosing and ordering this tire, you should check your tire size if it’s close enough or not. However, as we have researched it could fit your Fireteam based on the size.
Keep In Mind
If you have read the above tire features, you will not get any significant difference in built quilty and what they offer. The only difference you will find is the size and weight. We have researched a lot, but specifically for the Arrma fireteam, we have only one tire upgrade which is the first product on our list.
But the next two tires are for ⅛ scale cars, and our fireteam is 1/7 scale. We have measured the sizes, and the second item in our list is almost similar to the Fireteam upgrade tire size. You can choose these two. But if you do not get your hands on these two you can try out the third item on the list. Based on our measurement it could also fit your Fireteam.
To Sum It Up
We have researched a lot to list these 3 tires in our post for the Arrma Fireteam tire upgrade. There are not so many tire upgrades available for this model specifically. But if another model tire size is close to your Fireteam tire size you can try that out. As we see, RC drivers use one model of car tires to add to another model as they are compatible and close. However, if your original one is in good condition, do not look for an upgrade as built-in ones are the best.
