Or you can sand down the inside of the tires
that's what I had to do with mine to take them on and off with the push of a thumb.
As for which tires to use, it depends on the surface. I use the slick ABS tires on my hardwood floor, but a laminate flooring would need a bit more grip and GPM "treaded" drift tires would work fine.
With lithium power though... Hard slicks would do the job well. I bet they'd even slide around on concrete! LOL
The more power you have, the more grip you'll need for drift tires to get maximum control. (if that makes sense, since drift tires don't have much grip)
More or less personal preference but I'd recommend GPM drift tires (haven't tested them, but I hear they work well on slick surfaces)
EDIT: Also a side note, dremeling down the axles to fit MA-010 wheels is a really, really good idea to run all sorts of tires. It was one of the best mods I've done on all my cars to be able to run all the nice wheels mini-z's have
