In most case, nearly any dark gray will do.  Testors had a color called "Rubber," maybe the still do--but it was sort of brownish.

I use normal Tamiya black then dry brushed with grey. I think some people use their NATO Black, which is apparently a dark grey, but i have not tried it.

Welcome aboard, i'm sure you will love it here and find plenty of help getting back into the swing of things.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

I use the Testors' Rubber. It does have that dirty-tire look to it.

Welcome aboard. I usually use Model Masters acrylic with a small amount of gray. Usually turns out pretty decent.
