Question on gluing (possibly) vinyl tires - Lindberg 1/12 Fiat dragster

[DanR]

If you're familiar with this Lindberg kit, you know that the tires come in halves. Does anyone have any suggestions for the best glue to keep these together? I have had similar tires in the past and styrene glue does not work so well. Thanks!

HAVEN'T TRIED THIS YET, BUT WONDER IF IT WOULD WORK

Not exactly the answer your looking for but when I built one of those 1/12 scale Lindberg  kits I replaced them with some resin ones. Bought them on ebay.

I'll probably just use super glue, I was curious if there was anything that might be better. Thanks!

I got the kit for $16.99 at Ollie's so I'm really just building it for the fun of it. I didn't want to have to invest any additional money into it!

Find a vinyl repair adhesive or shoo goo. Those are flexible adhesives meant for that type of material.

If they're slicks I've heard of wrapping the tread with black electrical tape.

Thanks, I'll try the Shoe Goo!

Or.... You could try using the slicks from the AMT Shaker Trike kit... Those are 1/12 scale....
