Nice replacements arrived today! Late last year Truescale Miniatures announced that early builds on their Tyrrell P34s had a defect where the glue used to attach the tires to the wheels would react with the material in the tires over time. A description said it would appear the tires were melting or going flat. It was stated that replacement tires would be sent out to those who contacted them with photos of the bottom of the car, and the tires affected.
As you can see above, mine weren't melting as much as just having a weird sticky goop on them.
The rears actually had another issue where they were separating.
If anyone has these models, and hasn't taken a close look in a while, you may want to. Requests can be sent to: customercare@tsm-model.com

Oh yeah! That's the problem alright. Looks worse than mine. The ease and speed at which they agreed to send me replacements, leaves no doubt in my mind you'll have no trouble.
Once they get an email, a reply should come in a day or two. If you don't receive a reply, send another mail asking for confirmation that the first has been received. It shouldn't take long to get them, as they're shipped out of Cali.
Be sure to include a photo of the serial number on the bottom of the car too.
I stumbled onto the recall here diecastxchange.com/forum1 after Googling "replacement Truescale models" (I was looking for a suspension bar for the same model).

NP. Surprised and pleased someone got some value from this post. What are the chances of one of the 6500 customers being on Oppo when I posted? Pretty cool!
