Hi,

Picked up a bone stock 1/32 Revell Mercedes Gullwing. Vehicle is in very nice, original condition with the exception of some hardened, cracked tires.

 

I would like to replace them with fresh OEM or period correct replacement tires.

 

I have visited some of the vintage slot car websites, but get a little confused on sizing, width, etc.  I also

see some OEM Revell tires (on the round cardboard cards) for sale on eBay.

 

Could use some suggestions or direction on the "part number/where to buy"....

 

Thanks...

Try this link. Paul Gage has a very good name as a tire producer for many different cars.

Hi Chuck,

 

EJ's Hobbies sells their #15 tire which is a clone of the "Korrect" Revell tire you need. The only thing different is the lack of sidewall lettering like Dunlop or Goodyear.

Rick, are those EJ's#15  the tires to use for the R&C front tires & other vintage builds?
