Any 1/8 buggy tyres will fit it, you'll also need rims and to glue them (super glue) too.

Most offroad pin/stud-style tyres will wear very quickly on tarmac, but on-road tyres are useless on grass. You need a big block pattern for it to have any hope of lasting on tarmac and being decent on grass.

Ideally you want a set for each surface, but something like These will do the job for you, although they won't last forever

most 1/8 buggy wheels/tyres are a pretty standard size
