I have an old ‘57 Chevy glue bombs in 1/12th scale. I have all of it but the glass. I’ve tried several times to get the glass from several sources, with no luck. So, I’ve decided to make a short track late model out of it, and replace the windshield with screen. My problem is I need some short track tires for it. Either dirt, or pavement tires will do. If any of you have an idea where to get some tires, or happen to have some suitable tires, I would love to hear from you.

Do any of you know if some of the tires from larger scale radio controlled model cars might work?

....you might want to take a look at the 10th scale R.C tires ......keep in mind that the wheel , for the tires, might not be the scale your looking for.

Here is a place with multi scale wheels and tires, mostly RC stuff, worth a look to see what is there.

Lots of places to look with a google search. I was not aware of some of these scales.

I should have searched more before clicking the "post" button. Take a look at this google search result. May be something here you can use.
