Truck tire ideas needed

[ROY FERGUSON]

I am building a Renwal military wrecker kit. I do not like the plastic tire/wheel combo. I ordered a set of 1/35 resin tire/wheels

while I like the tire still look a little small on Renwal model. Anyone have an idea for a larger tire that will work. The Renwal is listed as 1/32 scale but I think it is a lrger scale than listed

Thanks

How about the Italeri M923 wheels and tires? 

I don't know what diameter you're after. I have this kit at home. I can measure the tires later on, if you want.

At almost $12/tire, you're looking at almost $120.  Not for me.

I'd head over to a site called Armorama.  Dedicated military vehicle site that has forums you can register for.  There are tons of aftermarket wheels and tires for military applications across several eras.  Sprue Bros carry  a lot of what is available.  Most of the aftermarket stuff is resin, same as the 1/25 scale truck world.  DEF Models probably has the largest choice.

Thanks for ideas. The Renwal/Revel wrecker is supposed to be 1/32 scale but I think it is larger.

I bought  a set of 1/35 resin military tires and they look to small.

I found an older thread on this forum where a member had built the kit and used 1/25 scale tires/wheels from AMT C  series Ford.

For now I am going with the resin military while I continue to look.

Take a look at some of the DEF offerings.  They have some more "modern" tires (like super singles) that might be large enough to do the job.

Here is tire selection I have, I am going with the resin tires wheel  with aggressive tread pattern.
