1/20 scale rain tire options

[tehSAC]

I'm a bit of a lurker here, but its time for a question.

I'm currently working on a 1/20th scale MP4-8 and looking for rain tires. Seems to either be a difficult item to find, or an item that is going to break the bank.

So are there options outside of MFH brand, or am I stuck spending an arm and a leg? Is there anyone here that might have some for sale?

I recently completed that same kit, with rain tyres: https://www.f1m.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=30902

I used Icon Automotive Miniatures tyres for that car.

They look great! Gonna have to order these. Are these sandable?

I did not sand them. Since there was no mold line like the Tamiya tires, I didn't want to take the chance of messing them up. This is how they look straight out of the package. I have a set from him that are made for the Williams FW-07 and the Ligier JS11.

Gotcha! I was thinking of wanting to sand mine down a bit to show a little wear as the tires would have been worn by the end of the last stint.

I'll take a look when mine arrive and proceed from there. I guess having a wet look isn't a bad thing since they were wet. haha

When you order, make sure you pick the right ones! Those are the ‘1993 Wingfoot Asym. Rain Conversion Tires - Ayrton Senna "Lap of the Gods"’.

Do you need any help ordering? I have not seen any new orders. My website email has been acting up so not sure if everything is working correctly.

As for sanding. They are sandable but they are tuff so don't sand really easy. I would suggest starting with a coarse grit and work your way to a smoother grit for the final result.
