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:

I'm thinking maybe lowrider tires and wheels. Dayton style wires with narrow whitewalls.

Makes a certain amount of sense. If you're right, you can have all mine.

I have a couple questions on AMT PP005. This set is out of production, but I'm looking to find more of these front tires. Were there any other Round 2 kits from the last 10 years that they would be in? I have about 5 other projects I need these for to go with my SweeTee. I have a line on the blue stripe slicks since they came in their own set pack of 8 and are easier to find.

Those front tires date back to about 1968 with MPC.  Pretty much every MPC funny car kit from then on had them, as well as Round 2 reissues of same.  Round 2 has included them in their reissues of the '33 and '40 Willys as well as the '56 Ford.  

I haven't bought the most recent reissue funny cars, but I understand that this tire has been retooled and now has smooth sidewalls.

Thank you. Wonder why they removed the side wall detail? Not that it was well defined anyway. Probably a licensing issue as per usual.

MPC930 Blue Max Mustang F/C, MPC964 Ramchargers Challenger F/C, MPC993 Bantam Blast and MPC1001 Muldowney Mustang Car are some current kits that should have those Denman style front tires.

Round2 should offer a 10 pack of those Denmans, I would be a buyer ?

I know that I’m really getting low on my parts pack slicks supply. It would be great to see all of them reissued . Some drag front tires would be great too.

Those little Denman front drag tires are in the last two re-issues of the AMT '56 Ford Victoria kits by Round2 [AMT 807 (2013), AMT 1308 (2022)].
