hello I'm new on the board.. I've already searched on the "offroad model tire sizes database" but I haven't found what I'm looking for, so I'm trying here ;D I'm going to build an Arctic Truck Land Cruiser, based on this kit and it should become like this www.arctictrucks.com/lisalib/getfile.aspx?itemid=3961&proc=28I can't find those tires www.arctictrucks.is/lisalib/getfile.aspx?itemid=2138www.arctictrucks.is/lisalib/getfile.aspx?itemid=2140the size is 38x15,5R15" so, in 1:24 scale, it will be: overall diameter 1,58" / 40,2mm wheel opening 0,625" / 15,875mm tread width 0,646" / 16,4mm do you know if there's some tires that are near to these sizes? even with a similar looking tread? thank you very much

Pennywise i too am working on something similar to that but using a 6 wheeled Ford Van im using the tire from the rereleased GMC kit they are the Desert Dog tires check on John's tire database to see what the 1:1 size would be but i think they will be your best bet Hope i've helped, Willie

Welcome to the site! You are member #100!!! ;D I think Willie is right about the tread pattern, the Desert Dogs would be closest...but the large ones have too big of an ID...you'll probably have to compromise in some way, we have lots more choices nowadays than just a few years ago, check out Ma's resin for about the best choices in offroad tires: public.fotki.com/cnaind/truck-tires--wheels/Sebastien has got some nice ones also: www.scale-auto-style.com/main.php
