Kurtis Kraft Midget

[Fortheloveofgassers]

I am building the new Krutis Kraft midget. What a great kit but that is another story. It looks to me like the tires in the kit are asphalt tires.

Do you agree?

If my premise is correct has any one found a replacement dirt tire or been able to modify the kit tire to a dirt tire.

If so would you mind sharing

Thanks in advance.

They look like dirt tires to me...especially those blocky rear treads.

Depending on the exact time frame, some asphalt cars would have been on slicks.....

The kit tires are pretty accurate replica's of mid-late 1950's Firestone Deluxe Champion dirt tires, but without Firestone lettering and logo's on them.
