Working on a monster in a hot rod and I have all the parts needed except wheels to fit these unknown slicks. They are 1 7/8" Dia. The inside hole is 1" and to the edges of the inside bead is 1 1/8". They are not "rubber" either. They are like a hard toy-like vinyl and are hollow. They say Racemaster Dragster M&H Tire Co. 8.00 - 15. I do not have a lathe so making something that fits is out.

They seems the tire used on the Lindberg Luv Buggy in 1/12. I used it as parts donor for other project, but I should have the wheels and tires. I will check if they are 8.00-15 and let you know if I have the wheels.

Fletch,
Do you have a Replicas and Miniatures of Maryland catalog??? Norm has a great selection of wheels,and some have drawings instead of pictures of the the wheels.
If you don't have one,I do.....I just gotta locate it....I can PM Norm's email addy to you if you want it.
Stand up guy,and he has awesome products for model building too!

Yea - I have the R&R catalog from not too long ago but nothing so far seems to fit this big tire.

I check the tires from the Luv Buggy, and thery are not the same. front and rear are Firestone brand, and the size branded on them are: 8.70-15 for the front, and 10.00-15 for the rear.

Could these possibly be from the early 20th scale Monogram kits ?

I think they must be from a toy as they are hollow but solid on the outside - in other words they look like they were two parts but heat sealed together. Kinda of like those old wax molding machines did way back in the 50's. There is a tiny hole on the side that air must have been pumped in during the molding process.
Not to worry as I could not wait any longer so I started my project using some other tall tires. Not as cool as these would have been but good enough. |
