dodgefever Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 On 19/01/2018 at 8:21 PM, Draggon said: The tires in my pic are original AMT. I have copies of them in resin from Modelhaus. I'm not sure if R&M has them. The first and only kit I've ever seen them in was the Willys/32 Sedan kit mentioned in the other thread. I never had the Willys as a single kit, so I don't know if the tires were in that. They were also in the original issues of the '55 Nomad and '56 Ford Victoria. Modelhaus sold them as their T110. I wasn't aware of R&M copying them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1972coronet Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 ... and yet , Revell-Monogram still makes kits with tyres with no sidewall marques (excepting the M&Ts in the Hemi Dart , and the Firestone Drag 500s in the S&M Pro Stock Barracuda ) . *Had to open that can of worms !

Both have the square inner edge not the tapered edge of the Orange Crate Revell front. Here is the Revell tire (left) and AMT tire side by side. Identical except for size. Plus Im pretty sure AMT only made that tire in one size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMT/Ertl reissued them at least once along with a competition chassis. If memory serves correctly, they were reissued at least one more time since then. But O could be wrong on that. The real story in the pictured 69 cent parts pack are the tires. Especially the front runners. They weren't available very long and aren't real easy to find. But they make excellent front rubber for vintage hot rods and drag cars. See earlier in this thread, and they are on the coupe below.

I’m assuming that they are bigger diameter than the previous version? The others were slightly small for a couple of early 70’s cars I wanted to use them on.

Not sure on the O.D., but I believe they are the same slicks which are included with the Bill Grumpy Jenkins Pro Stock Vega reissue: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
