Looking for the original style rear tires for my contest build . The originals had 'pie crust" style tires, which I like better than the reissues used - Anyone got a junk one of these kits lying around ?

I'm looking for old kits to restore!

I have lot's of other piecrust slicks if you have dimensions .

I will have to investigate , I know the Thames panel for sure had them, but the others in this series seem to all have newer style slicks. The reissues have plain slicks but I don't know if they are the same size as the early kits. I'll see what I can come up with for dimensions - thanks !

I looked for something close, but I have nothing ; I don't know if the slicks they put out are the same size as the originals , but the tire measures out to 1/2 inch wide , and an inch and 1/4 tall - the wheel opening is the same size as all the kits in the series as well as the Moon Mixer style kits
