421gto Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Think these slicks are from MPC. Is there an aftermarket source for these ? or has anyone cast 'em in the past ? Could only find narrower ones on ebay, think they were 7.00-15, but not what I'm after cheers Si . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Two piece plastic? Those are probably from the AMT Munster Koach kit. AMT made them in (one-piece) vinyl in the larger size also, but those are hard to find because they didn't put them into very many kits.

421gto Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 Thanks Mark, think you've got it sunshine, they are 2 piece plastic, just found an older built Munsters Koach on ebay with the same slicks on it. cheersSi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 (edited) That tire design was also available in a really soft rubber for the AMT "Turnpike" slot-cars. http://www.spotlighthobbies.com/amtsrudaands.html Edited April 27, 2017 by Ace-Garageguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berr13 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Scenes Unlimited had a one-piece version of those, but they are sold out...I bought a set or two, and they are a quality product. Hopefully they'll offer them again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW The early first issue AMT '58 Impala kits had those tires in them also. I had one "in the day".
