Andrew D the Jolly Roger Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Wondering where I can source appropriate tires for my build of Daisy Duke's GMX? The kit tires are 1) much too narrow, 2) too big for the appropriate wheel hubs (thanks for them Lee!), plus 3) it appears the rear tires might be just a LITTLE bigger and wider, but are not huge racing flats. Here are a few photos I've taken from the show or found in my research; what do you think, and where can I find appropriate tires? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modelbuilder Mark Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 I would say you have some felxibility as most pics that I find show blackwalls, Although on other pics of the same car I have seen BF Goodrich and Goodyear . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew D the Jolly Roger Posted April 7, 2021 Author Share Posted April 7, 2021 Kewl! Although I'm not worried about the brand name, figure those could change. Maybe this shows my problem better. In my tire stash, the closest things I've got are these. The slightly larger tires aren't really much wider at all over the other ones, so I fear it will just look like I've got crummy mismatched tires going. I'm thinking it's serious enough that I should source a dedicated set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Brian Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Check with Fireball, he just put out a line of tires in graduated sizes that fit the AMT wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew D the Jolly Roger Posted April 7, 2021 Author Share Posted April 7, 2021 Wonderful, thank you! What would y'all recommend then for this project given the photos above, maybe F60s and L60s? Or should I go with the E60s and G60s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Brian Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 I would go G60 and L60, especially if you're using the 1/24 kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
