KJ790 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Any market out there for modern big rig tires? Say I were to cast modern drives and steers, any interest? Right now I have a Yokohama TY527 drawn in CAD that I could start casting soon if others are interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thatswhatshesaid Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 How about a 445/50R22.5 true super single? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincen47 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Yes, Yes. Modern Tires, Please. Michelin Steers would be great, But I'd take most any brand. What material would you use for the cast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KJ790 Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 I would be casting these in black urethane rubber. I have made a few dimensional tweaks to my TY527 tire, as well as drew an RY617 steer tire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DynoMight Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 They look great! Will it just be the tire or will there be hubs and stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ790 Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 (edited) They look great! Will it just be the tire or will there be hubs and stuff? I am working on some rims as well. I am in the process of having some Freightliner rims 3D printed right now. I have already started casting some peterbilt rims at this time.

Mr mopar Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Are these 1/25 or 1/24 scale? And will they fit italeri rims? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petetrucker07 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 (edited) The steer tires look awesome Edited August 22, 2014 by Petetrucker07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ790 Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 Are these 1/25 or 1/24 scale? And will they fit italeri rims? They are technically R24.5 tires for 1/25 scale, but they should fit 1/24 Italeri rims. Once I cast some up I will see how they look on Italeri rims.

Have you thought about vintage style rims and tires say for the 30's - 50's trucks ? Just asking for reference . I like what you have done here.

1930fordpickup Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) I do not know much about the bigger turcks. I was just thinking that I would like to do a bigger version of a few older trucks down the road. Not that I need them right this minute but people have asked on the forums before about vintage wheels and tires . Just asking for now.
