Can they be sanded to reduce the diameter or would this increase traction and defeat the purpose? Thanks for the help. Glen

Well they have to be trued like any other tyre, and the tyre is a single compound, it isn't like some kind of coating
So no reason why you can't.
But bear in mind that it isn't JUST the compound that makes for low friction, it is the smoothness of the surface, so be sure you can get it to a polished state at the end.
But if you are worried about the O.D. being too big - why not just use a lower profile version ?

Why does it seem some cars are just hard to tune? I'm getting kinda tired of playing with it, but when it runs it's pretty fast and fun to drive on my little digital track. Have fun, BB!

The early liveries of the F40 lacked space for the front tyres under the arch and used to rub. From memory, I was able to dremel away a bit of material, or use a soldering iron to melt and reform the base for the light fitting... something.
But check yours anyway for free-spinning fronts - especially under cornering if you have body rock.
Or, you could make the inside of each front tyre a smaller diameter, and just have it a bigger diameter for the outside 3 or 4mm of the tyre width so it contacts the track.
