Tire ID please

[ChrisBcritter]

I like these truck (?) tires I saw on eBay; seller said they were heavy duty tires from an MPC '70 Chevy pickup. I don't think so, but what are they from?

Nice tread. Anyone recognize them?

Look like AMT 61-63 F100 tires.

I don't think so; those have a little ring around the faces plus the tread is straight, not serrated like these (I have a '62 with the original tires).

Aha! You got 'em - thanks!

Glad I didn't bid on them since they're probably bigger than I need.

With that tall sidewall they look a lot like the rear tires for the AMT Watson roadster Indy car( Parnelli Jones/ J.C. Agajanian "Calhoun" #98). Repurposed, perhaps?

Look more like some ones after market tires. I'm looking at the solid tire centers and no sidewall details . Still they're good looking.

Those look like the tall Indy car tires.  AMT put the tall tires into those "toy tractor-trailer" kits they were doing in '67 or '68 (the North American Van Lines truck that started out as a toy or promo item...there was a dump truck too).  The rears got used on those sand dragster kits too.  The shorter front tires got used on the '63 F-100 reissue (the one with that dumb camper cap with the raised area at the front), also (of all things) the Mach I Mustang concept car kit.
