outlaw105 Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Does anyone know where I can buy 275 Drag Radials in 1/25 scale? I know this Is probably the wrong place to post this but I figured I would get a better response from people that specifically build drag cars. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FASTBACK340 Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I asked about this MONTHS ago and was told they were being mastered.... That's why I went out in the garage last week and measured my 275-60-15's and have started doing the initial artwork for the tread and side cuts. I'm going to see if a stock car tire can be used as a basis, or if I'm carving tires and having them cast. Mickey Thompson Pro E-T's are THE most popular tires on the streets today (followed by Hoosier & Nitto...) for muscle cars and NO ONE makes a set.... Maybe I should have kept this to myself until I was further along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Pol Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 There was someone here that was casting them I think it was M.A.D. not 100 percent sure. John Pol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dom87SS Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I have 255s, 275s, and 315s. Can't seem to find any other pics, but here are the 275s on a car I'm doing and the others are identical just one is shorter/skinnier and one is taller/wider. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=39167&hl=%2B66+%2Bimpala&fromsearch=1 Email me if interested doms87ss@yahoo.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Have you checked Ma's Resin? Al makes some great tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outlaw105 Posted December 27, 2011 Author Share Posted December 27, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the options guys... Dom im really interested in your drag radials and i think I've emailed you one time before about them. I am about to do a build similar to your Impala with a turbo and 275's on alky but with a 69 GTO.

Devilsnake98 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 The mad ones are a 275/60-15 size, but just two grooves in the tread similar to the Hoosier drag radials. They're pretty nice, I'm putting them on the rear of a 83 mustang gt weekend warrior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FASTBACK340 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 The M-T's have a grooved edge besides the center grooves like the Hoosiers. Mad Dog's web site is down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom87SS Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 also, as in real life, the hoosiers are actually wider than the M/T ones. the radials i made are similar to the M/T design and are based of actual tire size. i make the models at 1:1 scale and sclae down to whatever size i need instead of trying to convert all dimensions down to a set 1/24 or 25th scale. i plan on making a set of hoosier style tires soon as well. mainly because nearly every 275 car out there now runs them, well the race cars at least.

kustoms4lyfe2 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 DOM YOU HAVE A MESSAGE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsnake98 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Dom, do you make the turbos as well? If so would you be putting any on the market? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom87SS Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Yes I made the turbo. I'm not starting a business or opening any online shop, but if people want some of the parts I can make them. Shoot me an email at doms87ss@yahoo.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
