Those should not be hard to find. I'll look and see if I have any. The kits you would need to be looking at would be kits of 50s and 60s cars that are built stock or 2n1. Maybe even some 40s & 50s Chevy Truck kits.

Thanks Bert - but if you look closely at the side wall - you'll see the spacing of the grooves is a little wider around the outer edge.It's this side wall detail I'm after.Thanks Keith

Those look like 520 or 560 Premium sport wheels or even Coker classic tires. I'll check my stash too. coker tire  |

First thing I did Brandon - Boy you're a lotta help :PJust kidding ;D Hobbybobby couldn't remember where they came from   This is what I want the tire for - and to me the sidewall detail looks very close.It will save me some scratch building I hope!! ;)I know this is a hard one and Bobby's pic.is hard to see the detail and I appreciate very much your taking the trouble for this - Thanks every one Keith |

Wow, that's a gnarly side wall! If you have to be a stickler for very accurate detail on that, it looks like a grooved piecrust slick or re-cap. Maybe a truck tire of some sort. Here's a cross section of what I have:  |

I PM'd you... but they are Firestone dirt ribs. A skinny set comes on the front of the Orange Crate, IIRC, so I'd guess these to be old Revell tires, they had some cool stuff in the early years.

Anyone have an idea where these tires from Brandon's post come from? I was thinking you also got them in the early gasser kits |

I've seen those, but can not remember which kits they came in, I have a LOT of tires but nothing close, just these,  but the tread is way different.

Thanks everyone - I really appreciate all the effort - but I think it's back to the drawing board on this one.Hope I didn't waist anyone's time - but hey - at least we got to see HobbyBobby's beautiful Paddy wagon again ;DThanks again everyone - very much appreciated!Keith
By the way - here's a bit of trivia. The front tires on the original Munsters Koach were some kind of snow tire
