Need to know what size these tires represent in the 1:1 world. They're the tires from 90's Revell Pro Stock kits (and some of the later re-issued 70's Funny Cars as well)

Thanks,

Brett

edit - they are not the tires from the 90's Pro Stocks. That's what I was told they're from. They are indeed the newer 70's Funny Car tires.

Are they the ones they're using in the Chi Town/Hawaiian ? Mine didn't have the "Remove Me" webbing in the hole, so I assumed they were a different tire. I know they were in the Mongoose re-issue, as well as the last Jungle Jim re-issue.

It doesn't really matter what kit they originated from, I need to know the real-world sizes they represent. My company is goign to be re-packaging them and re-selling them and I need to know the 1:1 sizes (if anyone even knows).

Why don't you measure them and multiply the size by the scale (25)? That will tell you what they scale out to in actual 1:1 size.

Yeah I could have done that, but I didn't know how racing tires are sized (Now, after a little googling I see they're basically just sized by the tread width, OD, and wheel size). I was just taking a shot someone would know and post an answer before I left work. I'll bring the calipers tomorrow and figure it out.
