Super single tires
 

I want to build a scale truck of what I drive every day. I run super singles on the back axles. I found rims from IHB that are for the wide base tires, but I can't seem to find tires that are the correct scale. I run 445/50R 22.5's. 1/14 scale would make them 31mm wide, which I found, but they need to be only 73mm tall, which I can't find. Has anyone else tried to do this?

There used to be a tire from a RC buggy back in the early 90's that would work but I'd have to make the wheels wider . I've only seen 2 of them from a customer that I made wheels for . I had thought about making that style wheel and get tires made for them . The tire part is the killer as I would need to sell 100's to cover the mold cost . Just doesn't seem to be much interest to pursue it . What some have done is buy my super single wheels on a rear hub and use the tamiya wide tire from the refer trailer which gives it the look just not quite the width to the inside . If you go that route when your ready message me and I'll assemble them that way .

Thanks Steve. We'll see how things go. I'm surprised that there isn't more interest in theses? These type of single rear tires is becoming almost normal here in the U.S. I found a company in Tiawan that says that they make custom RC tires and I emailed them with my request.

I just got 2 sets of Steves super single wheels, they are perfect looking.
