I'm trying to find out which of the new AMT releases come with the new Firestone whitewalls.

I know they are in the following kits;

Kits with PP next to it means it has been verified as the same as Parts Pack tires.

Wide Whitewalls

Three Stooges '40 Ford SD PP

'36 Ford coupe/roadster Retro Style Box

'49 Mercury Retro Style Box

Narrow Stripe

'65 Chevelle SW Super Wagon

'62 Chevy Northwind

Any others ?

Thanks to Mark and Brett for their contributions to this list

Mark, would that be the Super Wagon Kit that had the Retro label on it? I believe it is kit# AMT701.

Those would be the narrow whitewalls, correct ?

49 Mercury has wide whites.

62 Bel Air Northwind has narrow

Have to be careful as some of the new reissues with "pad-printed tires" have the old solid Firestone Supremes and not the Parts Pack tires. .

I do not have the last issue of the Super Wagon kit but the others I had all had the same tires your asking about....there not very wide but there white walls just the same. I always find I need them for my builds and restorations...be nice to find the wider ones like a 70s series tire width.... :(

Thanks for the replies. I'm going to update the original post with all the kits so we have a source list.

I know the Stooges tires From the kit I have are the same as the Parts Pack tires. I'll note each listing with a PP next to it for same as Parts Pack tires
