closest looking tire to proline flat stubby's available now?

Post by jwscab »

So I have a B2 I'm putting together, as well as another B2 that needs tires. I'm looking to find a tire that's a close match to the flat stubby so it is close to a period assembly. I'm not concerned about box stock restoration necessarily, just something that's available and not at an ebay premium, hopefully.

I was thinking the Losi IFMAR stud tire, maybe silver compound. what do you think? I haven't had many of the later tires at my disposal to compare, so I'm stuck looking at internet pictures and trusting in the accuracy of the photos.

Yep those are the ones I was looking at. My question was more about how close they look in person and if there were any better choices. Just wanted to get some opinions or suggestions.
