AMT Echto 1a rubber.

[Mr.Zombie]

The Ecto AMT kit comes with Good Years, but needs BF Goodrich tyres, does anyone here know from the top of their head which kit would have BF Goodrich Tyres that will fit? Thanks.

I am only aware of two kit based options for BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires. MPC included hollow vinyl versions in many of their 80s kits. They were not a really great tire. The sidewall lettering was accurate in style but a bit over sized, and the tread was only fair. With some cleaning up they may look respectable.

The other set is the big & littles available in some ARII kits of American cars such as the 71 Mustang, 72 Challenger, early 70s T-Bird, etc. These are a nice tire with accurate sidewall and tread, but seem a bit over sized, even for 1/24 scale.

There are probably some better choices in the aftermarket. Scale Equipment Ltd used to sell some BFG tires with accurate white sidewall lettering, but I just visited their site and could find no tires available there.

Thanks.

A shame, minus the wrong manufacturer, the tyres that are in the kit are perfect size and have a pleasant "puffyness" that I really dig.

Figure out the diameter of the kit wheel and go check out Fireball Modelworks, he has them in a few different sizes and I would think one would fit the kit wheels.

The kit's tires could be cleaned up and then use BFG decals to get the same effect.
