Hmm, I got a muscle machine a while ago (one of those sup-ed up ones right?) I got two of them, A Ford Escort and the blue WRX. Yes, they do have rubber tires, but good luck getting them on, they are managable to get off, but impossible to put on your bit. Impossible to put back on the car too. So if you buy one, keep the tirs on it, just look at it for decoration.

well they are hard rubber.. muscle machines made 2 different series of these cars.. the SS tuners, and one other which i cant remember the name of. the ss tuners have a kinda soft plastic tire, which would yeild no traction at all for a bit.. regular muscle machines also have a hard plastic tire.. however you can gain traction by using rubber cement on the tires.

i used a muscle machines hot rod and put the tires on my car and it works fine it looks pimpin but I need to shave a body for it
some one has instuctions on thier site and thier are several threads about them
you dont have too do anything to the tires they have lots of traction
if you want a pic I will post one and say how I did it

i guess it just depends on the muscle machine that you hve... i havwe bought about 15 of them so far. all of them have plastic tires which would give you next to no traction at all on a hard surface.. unless your on concreete, or pavement. however they work excellent on carpeting.. my MM tires with a dual cell spin on carpet. so even then its hard to get traction...
