Can I run these wheels on non-Tamiya 1/10 cars?

They should fit any 1/10 car that accepts a 12mm hex. You may need minor spacing adjustments or hex adapters for different hubs.

Are these wheels strong enough for regular practice sessions?

The plastic wheel with metal-plated look handles normal drift practice, though avoid heavy impacts as with most non-metal rims.

Do the tyres need bedding in before consistent drift performance?

A short run-in helps the hard tyres settle and achieve repeatable slides. Test on your usual surface to fine tune angle and throttle input.
