Off-road tires

[ABC Auto Industry]

I'm curious, where can I get some large off-road tires for big rig models? I've seen one or two custom models with such tires, but I can't find any model truck parts sellers with such tires. The only source I know of is the International Payhauler kit.

Anyone know where to get these kinds of tires?

Yes, I've checked them out. However, I was thinking of even larger tires, like the ones on this Hayes WHD model:

How about these: http://www.aitruckmodels.com/pages/rm8fr.html They look like the tires on the Hayes.

Another source for odd-ball bits and pieces, is at the local BIG BOX, just take a stroll down though the kiddies toy section, it's amazing what you can find for different models.

Give The Parts Box a try. They are adding many offroad tires often.

The tires are under the "wheels" link... look for 4x4.

There should be something there that work.

just remembered an articel in tmw about about a 1:25 scale wheeled crane/ loader type thing, designed as a load for a low loader. The crane/loader was (i think) scratchbuilt, but the wheels were huge lego wheels, and looked great.
