MsDano85gt Posted November 24, 2013 Posted November 24, 2013 Figured i would post this info these toys are not at every single "Dollar General" store but that is where i get this "made in china" toyset for these fantastic offroad tires! the wheel is a 6 tire vehicle so if you get 2 toysets its enough offroad tires to do 3 model offroad trucks/jeeps! of course i hate to throw away a perfectly good toy! especially around the holidays with all the toys for tots dropboxes i went ahaead and "swapped" some virtually useless parts box hard plastic tires, and some rims from the parts box i won't use on my builds and replaced the stolen offroad tires kids do not discriminate tires on a toy! none that i know of anyway...... heres the pics! now the tank has some style/ bling should i have painted them flat black?? maybe but its a kids toy they won't care i think.......
MsDano85gt Posted November 24, 2013 Author Posted November 24, 2013 as you can see i pick these toys up every so often when i have the extra 8$ on hand its a bargain i think you can't buy offroad tires and rims that nice on e-bay for less money they will work for almost anything!! hope this post is usefull especially to all those 4x4 guys out there!!
MsDano85gt Posted November 25, 2013 Author Posted November 25, 2013 wow i figured there would be more response .......
Deathgoblin Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 Those are pretty neat looking. They'd be great on a Jeep or Bronco.
Joker Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 wow i figured there would be more response ....... With a hundred and fifty two views , I'm sure ppl are going searching for the tires. Thanks for the tip BTW.
Casey Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 With a hundred and fifty two views , I'm sure ppl are going searching for the tires. Plus, this topic was covered, or at least mentioned, once before, so it may be old news to some. I suspect the difference in the front and rear wheel opening diameter of these tires is making a few people go --->
Fabrux Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 I picked up a set of these from a tank thingy that was molded in blue, labelled 'POLICE' and had white rims.
randx0 Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 That's why we never get any new 4x4 kits , not enough interest. Those tires look pretty decent though.
vypurr59 Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 Great find. I also find diecast cars in 1/32 that have "DONK" wheels. I have purchased them just for the wheels and tires. The rest becomes painting test beds. The "DONK" wheels are just the perfect size for 1/25th scale cars. Here is a pic of the wheels I found and used them for this low rider car
MsDano85gt Posted November 26, 2013 Author Posted November 26, 2013 very nice wheel choice for that very good looking buick! i do the same as well! i buy die cast toys with nice looking wheels and steal them for my model builds
