Womp cars have 1/8th inch axles and the wheels and tires are really not 1/32nd scale. Your best bet is probably to coat the tires that came with the car with black silicone sealent. If you want to use regular 1/32nd silicone tires you will have to change to a 3/32nd rear axle assembly including the bearings, axle, crown gear and wheels.

Paul Gage sells urethane tires that work well on Womp hubs - that's what I use these days instead of silicon. I believe he's a sponser here so look on the HRW home page for the link. You can also coat your clean sponge tires with RTV silicon - it works best if you thin out the silicon with some mineral spirits.

Permatex " Windshield and Glass Sealer" It's silicone, but a lot thinner than RTV. Coat the tires, and let it set up.Works well on painted wood tracks, I'd imagine it would do the same on a plastic track
