Treaded racing wheels?


Recommended Posts

I've got a vintage Nascar kit that would make a great Pikes Peak Challenge racer. I just need some stock car type tires with treads on them because this will be a pre-entirely-paved-Pikes-Peak type racer. Back when it had dirt section of the coarse. I think it should be a wide tire, with decent sidewall, with treads. Maybe the Revell '32 rear tires in all four corners? Any recommendations?

I think they're just over an inch wide, and are from MPC kits, but may have been included in some AMT kits, too. I want to say the dirt modified kits included them, but not 100% sure on that. 

Let me see if I have a complete set, and if I do I will send them out to you.

Casey, I just checked the stash and I do already have a set of these. I'd completely forgotten about them. Thanks very much for the help.

I think some of the AMT early 90's pick-ups had these as part of an option. Also check out any of the early "Pro Street" type kits as some of those had tires like this. The Revell  '67 Chevelle  "Street Burner"  has some very nice treaded Firestones that are 3/4" wide and 1 1/4" tall. They would make great rear tires.
