1/20 MPC STP Turbine Tires

[Deleted]

I am looking for either a set or at least one or two original, recast, or replica replacement tires of my just acquired 1/20 MPC STP Turbine model. I believe it is not unusual but one and part of another of the original kit tires is deformed & shrunk. All four tires same the same size.
width: 23/32 / .0.736
od: 1-3/8" / 1.277
id: 7/8" / .0820
If it matters, I would not trust my decimal measurements too much.
Any help would be appreciated. Have the original molds ever been found? Thanks

Jagmkx,

Norm Vebber has a set of "PREFECT" 1/20 scale tires for the old MPC Paxton Turbine car...I know, I sent him the only one I had many years ago. Contact Norm Vebber at Replicas and Miniatures of Maryland and ask him for them. They're molded in black resin and are 100% better than anything you'll find!

Best to you!
