fsr5.jpg.a5c4421dc8ae06c3d5a74cf615e159d0.jpgSaw these on one of Just Jim's posts where he's got them on a '79 Nova.  They'd be period-perfect for something I've got in my on deck circle, but was wondering what other kits have them?

A friend of mine just told me they're probably sidewall decals from our favorite Dutch guy, Xrayniner (?) who happens to sell that design among others

Firestone Steel Radial 500

Unlike the 1:1 tires, these aren't likely to be recalled 😁

Sorry to say he's wrong Monty. Those tires do indeed come in the latest reissue of that kit.

Thanks for chiming in.  That's good to know.  Nice to see a little more variety in the tires offered in kits.  If I'm not able to score a set on eBay I'll see if someone here is interested in doing a trade.

AMT parts pack?

They've issued Goodyear Polyglas and Firestone Wide-Oval tires in packs before, so we know it's possible. 

While these are convenient when sold this way, more often than not the tires are all one size & usually not that much bigger than stock.  That's where sidewall decals from Fireball Modelworks and the Dutch guy come in.

I like the tire packs. I use them on lots of my builds, plug and play.
