1:14ish tires but a bit smaller for a tag axle? Bo Wallen do you do this?

[dremu]

Seems like the default tires for a 1:14 semi are like 85-88mm OD. I'd like something a bit smaller in diameter for the tag (lift) axle, as is the case on the 1:1's. Counting on my fingers says ~78mm OD would do the trick.

I can find lots that are more like 70-72, but nothing for the sweet spot inbetween. Even RC4WD's tire finder, bless their magic, is coming up empty.

Any pointers gladly taken.

What are you looking for in size? I got a few ideas.

Ideally ~78mm OD, 18mm wide. No more than 20 wide anyway, don't want super singles on a tag. Perfect world, 1.7" wheel to match those on the other (main drive) tires. Make sense?

Hey, I got these tires from RC4WD a few years ago. I think they came with the Armageddon Truck. They have marked "JD Models." 77mm OD.

Huh, didn't see anything from RC4WD now... but thanks, that's actually good info. I seem to recall getting other "JDModels" tires from them once, which they later didn't have. But at least I know the size exists. I can go look on Aliexpress or something. Gotta love the Chinesium (shakes head).

Give RC4WD a mail and ask how to get the tires.
