Modern big rig tires

[KJ790]

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.

[Petetrucker07]

I would be. For sure.

[Thatswhatshesaid]

How about a 445/50R22.5 true super single?

[vincen47]

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?

[Mr mopar]

I would like to these come to light.

[hgbben]

Agreed

[KJ790]

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.

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.

Not ready to sell any yet, and I don't want to get in trouble by selling anything through this forum. I will have a website set up for selling my products soon.

[Mr mopar]

Are these 1/25 or 1/24 scale? And will they fit italeri rims?

[Petetrucker07]

The steer tires look awesome

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.

Put me down for a set of them.

Just put your link in the resin section and you may be flooded with orders . 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.

Do you have any pictures of the style you are thinking of?

[1930fordpickup]

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.

Ben Wicker has these as a Bridgestone, not a Michelin:

They're floats, not super singles. Check out the side wall and tread.

You're looking at the wrong tire. It's #9 on the second page of that section. This might directly link to it:

Those are super singles.
