Where to find tyres

[tonysmini 19]

Hiya, well my first foray into the Clod scene.

I have just taken over the project that started as Jay73s' Clodzilla, thanks Jay, it's huge and even my wife was lost for words, well, for 30 seconds but it's a start, lol.

I need to source a new set of tyres, but everyone I've tried in the UK so far has been out of stock.

Does anyone have any other places I could try? I want them to fit the standard Clod wheels, but I don't mind if they are the standard Tamiya ones or something different, I pln on doing a mix of standard bashing with maybe a bit of crawling thrown into the mix.

Cheers for your help guys,

Tony

I googled 9805226, part number for the stock tyres.... there seems to be stock overseas..... $25.00pr plus postage. Plus a few sets on ebay too.

Imex still do Clod pattern tyres too; http://www.imexrc.com/servlet/the-Tires-cl...ster/Categories

CML used to import them, so there might still be some in the uk, but I doubt it.

Don't forget to factor in the customs hit though

Its just not worth it by the time the shipping is added fromt he US, never mind HM Customs intervention !

I will just say that any tyres from Imex are worth it no matter how much we get stung. They are absolutely superb.

don't forget foam inserts, pullers/b&h's/rumblers are all pretty soft tires. i would also store the truck on a stand to prevent flat spotting.

I store all my cars 'off the wheels' anyway, I use old touring car wheels under the chassis.

I'm going to need something slightly bigger for a Clodzilla.

I need to think of a theme for my truck, hmmm.
