dimaxion Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 Begging your pardin, but I bought L 60 15 Good Year tires in 1971. i believe the 70 1/2 Camaro Z/28 was available from the factory with F 60 15 Good Years Let us agree to disagree . The BFG 60 series were the first street tires from the Trans AM Racers in the day . Polyglass Belted and Sticky Tread for longer Tire Life and High Performance I just could not drive (actually my wife) on U.S. Baldies , Blowout Series any longer . Thanx ..
IMSANUT Posted November 19, 2012 Posted November 19, 2012 I would certainly like a set of big and littles for my upcoming build of the BFG sponsored Greenwood Corvette. That would be great!!! Jim
azers Posted November 26, 2012 Posted November 26, 2012 Just recieved my bf goodrich tires today. WOW. I'm impressed. I'll definitely be looking forward to new items from you joe. I will be getting more items definitely.
Chief Joseph Posted May 13, 2013 Author Posted May 13, 2013 FYI; I have produced another batch of the hard white resin BFG tires and I can produce the flexible black tires on a make-to-order basis. Info is available at my website link in my signature.
TooOld Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 I'm just finishing a build using the set I ordered from you , they are beautiful ! I'll be ordering more soon !
Chief Joseph Posted May 18, 2013 Author Posted May 18, 2013 (edited) Are these the same tires on Mad Max's Interceptor? Pretty close. The sidewall lettering on the original movie car had a different spacing and read "B.F.GOODRICH RADIAL T/A" instead of "BFGoodrich Radial T/A." Most of the replica cars have the modern versions of the tires, and that's the style that is on my tires. Edited May 18, 2013 by Chief Joseph

Edsel-Dan Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 How close would they be for the Ghostbuster's 2 Ecto-1A?? The Updated Cruiser in the second movie had BFG's. I know MPC's version is smaller than the hollow Goodyear L60's in the original issue. I am planning on getting a few re-issues soon.

I have the old, original issue of the AMT kit and those wheels fit perfectly in my BFG tires. I can even show you a picture if you like
Bonekrosha Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 I'm gonna have to get some of these but I sure wish you could make 'em in 1/16th
Chief Joseph Posted May 28, 2013 Author Posted May 28, 2013 I'm gonna have to get some of these but I sure wish you could make 'em in 1/16th I have a digital model that I can scale to 1/16 and have printed. Quality would be great at that size. In fact, I would probably need to go into the model and add some additional detail because I made it with 1/24 scale in mind. It's a 235/60-R15 size tire in 1/24 scale, but can be manipulated to give different scale sizes around that basic proportion.
Bonekrosha Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 I would buy a couple sets of big and littles in 1/16th in a hurry I doubt you'd have too much trouble selling them.
samurai7 Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 Man If you can scale up to 1/12 big n littles....and throw in some centreline rims....for my Doyusha Firebird....you can gladly take my money!
samurai7 Posted June 6, 2013 Posted June 6, 2013 I just recieved my tires...(the resin set).. big n' little...They are really nice!...Its gonna look sic on my Aoshima Interceptor... I'm getting the tires machined a little bigger to accept the Aoshima rims but should look sinister once on! THANK YOU so much for your excellent product and excellent service.
Chief Joseph Posted June 7, 2013 Author Posted June 7, 2013 If I had a 1/16 wheel to measure for fitting the tire, I could make it. Send me a wheel!
Hawk312 Posted June 9, 2013 Posted June 9, 2013 Man If you can scale up to 1/12 big n littles....and throw in some centreline rims....for my Doyusha Firebird....you can gladly take my money!I would be interested in these in 1/12 scale as well, but for the `67 Corvette, `69 Camaro, and the `57 Chevy kits. I think they would look great on all of them. And I am sure others would be interested, given the 1/12 Camaro is being re-released this November!

Again, the problem is that I don't have any 1/12 wheels from these kits to measure. Without accurate measurements of the wheels, making tires to fit them is somewhat troublesome.
