Does anyone know where I can get a set of the wide white wall tires for a 1/25 Ford Fairlane by AMT/ERTL kit #31838? All the sites I have looked at so far just sells the low profile tires. I am making this kit a regular 1957 stock. The tires that came with the kit are plain black. I have tried and tried to paint them but it is HOPLESS! I wish they would have made the tires to where you just insert the white ring into the rubber, like I have seen kits before. Thanks in advance!

You could use a dry transfer, Detail Masters carry them. I never used the white wall transfers but have used the Goodyear lettering with great results.

SHABO also make then thin and wide in white and yellow. They can be found at the botton left of the page.
