The tires in post 20 don't look like White Circle to me, I remember the silicone going up the sidewall to the rim. If you look at the tires in post 1, that is what I remember.

Here's a package of 1/32 White Circle silastic coated sponge tires I bought recently - patent pending!

Now my question is where can I find a set of Black Moriah's with clear tires?

 

Are those the Candies Crystals?

Hey Bob,

 

Were you ever involved in making tires for the boss' friends?  At least I assume he and Jerry Mrlik were friends!  Anyway, when I got Jerry's stuff there were lots of White Circles in white, green, orange, and silver!  Same rims, same style, unmistakable...  At another time I got these, and another time a similar card with a rainbow of colors!

Brad Blohm no i didn't. The white were the best sellers. look at post 28 and you can see the silicone coated the tire all the way to the rim.

As I look at the tires in the tube in post  #29, the color might have bled through. They may have been coated white then black. Just a thought.

Hey Bob,

 

No, the rim is black plastic and the silicone is clear.
