Replacing all my Good year tires with MY Foamie tires. Made a a nice Front set for my sprincars. The foot print is a tad over 3 inches. Grooved them soo the rims sit inside with minimal pressure to squeeze them together ... I like the convex side walls better then the other ones...

Re: Quick tire project
Do you still have any of the good years?
Re: Quick tire project
Here you go sports fans.... No front engine dragster , 32, 34,55 or any other street rod should be with out these vintage looking foam tires...
All made in house... Pain staking checks and balances thru out the whole process to insure a very balanced tire.. Foam performance with a vulcanized rubber coating on the side walls.... Any design is possible and I'm limited in style and size only to my imagination
These particular tires are for my one of a kind 55 chevy.. It is 7 inches tall and a tad under 4 inches wide, sidewall to sidewall.... And they fit on 3 inch wheels..

Nice, they look great
Re: Quick tire project
Here's the fronts with my new vintage rims as well. I can make these to fit all sizes of rims.... Bringing my models to the next level of realism...
No white walls on these...

Re: Quick tire project
what do you think about doing some hoiser sprint car tires, dirt or pavement? The brp tires just don't do it for me. I would like to see more realism mostly for display but to me it needs to be functional to be a real piece of art.
Re: Quick tire project
I would love to make these tires for folks but it's just to damn time consuming, pricing would stink and it makes a hell of a mess. As for functional ability, my tires perform as well as they look.... As for the BRP tires... There tires are the best choice for racing and are pretty much readily available.... I always try to step aside from the norm a little ... Doesn't mean there any better just different... And I like different...

Re: Quick tire project
Hello Dom,
Those look very nice. Can you show us the process? BRP needs to step it up!!!
Thanks, Anthony
