No way! just the rims are plastic. Still are bead lock. the rubber on tires are normal R/c rubber. Great quality i think. No need to replace or upgrade. This truck is a beast nice and powerful. Only problem i had was my son trying to climb trees and walls it eventually striped out a gear in the drive train. 20$ fix. Tires are great just like the truck. excellent frame build up-gradable to 4 wheel steering. also can be brush-less. I highly highly recommend this rock crawler for anyone any age any price budget cant get any better.

The rubber and the foam inside the tire is similar to any other high-quality RC truck. The plastic wheel that the tire is on is where it breaks down. So long as you do not put the nuts on to tightly they seem fine. I put them on too tight and cracked a couple of wheels. I then had them replaced for free by the seller and I used locktite and they stayed on fine and have been fine since.

The tyres are plastic. You will need to find a way to get more grip on them before you can go fast. If you are able to add grip, these things fly down the street.

The plastic tires are just fine. They are pretty durable in my opinion. The rubber tires are fine, too, but much more expensive. I have a little boy and so far the plastic tires have stood up to him just fine.

Tires are plastic and hollow. I am not sure how long they will hold up. Know you can get replacements from Radio Flyer.

I'm not in the position to look at this moment, but I'm guessing they are plastic. My mother has had no problems with their performance. I suggest you contact Amazon and ask... or, contact the seller.

The one we got here on Amazon.com had air tires (it was quite a while ago). The plastic tires suck...my neighbor got a bike that looked just like this one, but it had plastic tires. Maybe ask the seller via Amazon to make sure....but the one we ordered here had real bike tires.

The tires are a solid rubber. You should be able to squeeze them a little. Rubber in my opinion is better than plastic. It is durable and quiet.

I thought they was a heavier ply tire as when I bought them it didn't state if they were or not but I have them on my 2500 suburban and there working great I haven't had much opportunity go try them in an off roading atmosphere but there great on the highway.

The tires are rubber. We gave the wagon as a gift and have no idea how long the tires will last. Overall, the wagon is well constructed.

Tire condition (there any cracks or holes in the plastic tires. Suggest you get some sort of 6 volt DC power source to check the motors.

Not real sure of their makeup. The tires are a hard compound that have stood up to a couple years of rounds through the desert of Arizona. Lots of rocks and thorns have tried to ruin them but they have held up well.

They are plastic but a high grade plastic. They do not feel flimsy in any way.

They are rubbery, and I think have a little sealed air, but no valve for filling. At any rate, they do not make noise when moving across hard surfaces. The wheels operate very quietly and smoothly.

The rear tire looks like a paddle. They are also rotationally directional. Excellent tires I'm sure you will love them.

Just got it installed a few months ago and have not driven a lot yet. The tires seem having good quality. The only thing is that one of the 4 tires was an old one (made about 2 years ago), i.e. from over stock.

John H. answer below is comprehensive, and they are definitely not a mountain bike tire, but I am planning to eventually replace them with a slightly more road less mountain oriented tread design in the hope of getting a lower rolling resistance.
