Kit Source Question- Tire I.D.

[Casey]

Any help identifying which kit(s) these Goodyear Wrangler AT tires were originally included with is appreciated. I want to say they were used in the AMT 1/25 Snap Fast Dodge Ram Pickup, but I can't say for sure and would like to I.D. them for the Off-Road Tire Database.

Casey, they are NOT from the Dodge kits, the Dodge dually had BF Goodrich Long Trail T/A tires with no tire size markings like these, sorry if the pics aren't real good.

I though they may have been in the 1993 Ford Ranger Splash or the mid 90's Chevy S10, but both of these have Firestones. Then I remembered one more AMT pickup kit I have and BOOM, there they were. I found them in here:

I'm not sure, but I would assume they were probably in the shortbox, stepside, and Lightning issues of the F150's as well, but this is the only kit of that style F150 I have.

I'm surprised the pics of the tires turned out so nice, they didn't look that good on the camera and photobucket!

[Casey]

Thanks for the pics and info, Matthew.

No problem, Casey, I'm always happy to help whenever I can!

I'd think the tires are off of the AMT ford snap Ranger?

Sorry, don't have one on hand to check right now.

I didn't even know AMT made a snap version Ranger. The only ones I've ever seen was the Ranger STX and Splash glue kits.

I can check and see if they are in the Lightning, but I doubt it because it's a performance model. I also have an F150 short/wide I can check this weekend. I'll report back with what I find.

I just remembered the SAE '97 F-150 comparison article from '96, and it appears the tires are indeed AMT sourced, as the '97 F-150 kit included them.

Yeah, they probably carried them over from the 95 longbox I pictured.

YOu'd have to take my word on that.

I know I've built one or two for a Friends kids Many Moons ago.

It was molding in black and had self adhesive stickers.

Dang it to all heck, I aint got one to show.

Weird, Eh?

Just when ya think ya got it all

I think we have another match.

I miss that truck

Darn, tires are different.

Guess I was rong

Actually, Casey, the tires on the Snap Ranger look like the BFGoodrich tires like on my Dodge. I zoomed in on your pic and they appear to have the same tread patten as the Dodge's.

My Dodge snapper (3/4 ton, not the dually) came with Firestone Radial ATX tires:

I'll try and get a better pic.

All of my AMT F150s came with 9.25-10.00-15 Goodyears, same ones from the early 90's C1500s.
