Will these wheels work with wheel hex adapters?

Yes, with the correct hex adapter you can run these wheels on alternative hub types. Ensure the adapter keeps the wheel secure and maintains correct offset.

How do the hard tyres affect cornering angle?

Hard tyres reduce grip, allowing higher drift angles with smoother transitions. You may need to adjust steering and throttle for your preferred style.

Any maintenance tips for long tyre life?

Clean tyres after dusty sessions and rotate wheels occasionally to even wear. Inspect the bead for cuts and replace tyres if the compound shows excessive wear.
