making tires

[notfastenuff]

I hope this is the right section for this. I did a search and came up empty.

I'm needing to make some low profile tires for wheels from other kits. Doing some bashing. Trying to build something I've seen in real life.

Thanks guys.

This is a good spot for a Question.

A great start would be to check out

Thanks for that link 'Zuk.........you just helped me out by answering his question!

Always glad to help when I know the answer

Their 23" empty rims might work, but I need 6. What I'm wanting to do is put semi wheels on dually that I'm building, but I need a really low profile tire. That's why I was asking about making some.

Thought...what about using that brush on electrical tape, and rolling another tire over it right before it fully set up to add a tread pattern. Has anyone tired this? I've got lots of wheels, but no tires. (those kits that come with 2 sets of wheels and one set of tires really frustrate me)

Thanks for the reply Zuk.

That's exactly what I'm needing. Which tires are those? The 1200 low profiles? Thanks.

or semi truck rims(like from the pete 359) i believe the old donk tyres will fit, i may be wrong though

The tires from AMT's Boyd-mobiles such at the 32 ford, will just about fit the old AMT semi-truck rims. They arent a perfect fit, but real close. And I bet that a lot of people have them sitting in their stash!
