Can you do Goodyear tires? I'd really like some Eagle VR Gatorback.

Sure, all I need is a sample tire or a kit name to look in.

Thanks for asking!

What about BFG's new KM2 tire? And some Crager Soft 8-style rims.

Alrighty then . My request is for Muscle Car tires . F/70 - 14 , F/70 - 15 , E series . G series , and H series . red and blue lined . I have all these Muscle Cars and the Tires are just not right . I won't build them until I can get all the details right . I know , retentive and accurate . I build Factory Stock . Fat Radial Tires are just out of place . It is just like me running out and purchasing 2025 Tiers on our 2000 jeep Cherokee Sport . Yuk ..Yuk ... Thanx .. :D:P

Any word on the wider Aoshima tire that Marc Nellis sent you for use with their BBS LM wheels they put out last fall?

Heard from Al Raab this evening. He's been out of the US on business but should have the first tires cast this week. He'll post pics when they are ready.

I received a package from Ma's Resin last week with some of their new additions to the tire line.

20" Pirelli P7000 wide tires that will compliment Aoshima's 20" BBS LM wheel sets.

245-40/18 and 285-40/18 Pirelli P Zero tires

DSCN0287-vi.jpg

Some 17" Bridgestone Expedias

DSCN0285-vi.jpg

Dunlop SP3 and SP9's

DSCN0288-vi.jpg

and finally, some of the vintage Otaki/Arii big and little BFG Radial T/A's

DSCN0286-vi.jpg

Al will be offering the Otaki/Arii slotted mags to fit the BFG's real soon. These are some vintage ones I own, not the Ma's Resin versions.

Very high quality castings that are typical of all Ma's Resin products. The Dunlops will make great vintage sports car tires as well as front tires for street rods, gassers, and the like.

Oh Goooody, the BFG's were the ones I was gonna ask about, will they be available as just the big & littles, or can we pick a set of just bigs, or just littles? You know how some of us race car types can be.

Ma's Resin sells the tires in pairs so you can mix and match whatever you like. ;)

All tires shown are available now. The slotted mags for the BFG's are coming soon. The Aoshima 20" BBS LM's are from my personal collection and are currently available for a limited time from your favorite Japanese online hobby vendor.

That's very good news about the Arii/Otaki BFGs, and the slotted mags too, as the originals are getting harder to find. :D

Has anyone done the Nitto tires as in NT01,NT05,555r, or 555r2 These would be great for the track or some street/weekend warrior cars

Are these available in any kits? If so, I can make them.

Several wheels are in the works including a rim for the off road tires that has many different center sections. Pics to follow.

Thanks to all that have sent sample tires!! :(:)

They would be nice, but they are not available in any kits. One would have to scratchbuilt any Nitto tires.

Guys, I received some tires a few weeks back from Alan (Ma's) and let me tell you the tires are the absolute best cast tires I've ever seen. They are simply flawless and the best cast tires you can buy from anyone, anywhere. All in all, a pretty nice guy to boot ;)

For real though, you cant go wrong ... his tires are simply fabulous.

True they are getting hard to find, Don't even ask about the prices they are going for. :lol:
