                        I do not know of any rubber/vinyl ones available. The resin ones are pretty nice. As far as which tire I see more often, it's like 6 of one, a half dozen of another. Both are common, you will even find both types on the same truck.

                        Rob, do you know of any rubber/vinyl ones? I'm not a big fan of resin, usually. How good are they? Since you have these things "at work" Big Smile [:D] what type of tires do you see most often?

                        Rubber/vinyl tires for M977 and M978 kits

                        I have both the Italeri M977 and M978 kits (very soon to be on the workbench), and I was wondering if anyone has ever seen after-market rubber or vinyl tires for these kits? I hate styrene tires almost as much as I hate indy tracks....
