When swapping out traction tires with my new black ones I have a lot of newly released Trackmaster engines with black wheels I wanted to redo but....I can't. Why on earth would Trackmaster create an entirely different system that would only take a rubber specially made for their wheels....Are you nuts Trackmaster? Why? Whats wrong with what has been used up till now? I could see if the old way was not working and they wanted to retool and improve but there was nothing wrong with the original way. I could also see if they wanted to improve and then sell their own replacement rubbers but...they don't. Frankly I don't understand. I sure can't see any advantage business wise to retool and make something different when they must have already been making their trains with the original. Ridiculous! Shame on you Trackmaster!

After seeing this different tire I seem to recall that Ucwepn had brought this up in the old Forums if I am not mistaken.
