I have some Corgi truck models whose skinny tires I absolutely detest, especially the fronts. I plan to change them to something of the likes on Tekno and WSI. Few years ago, I had seen such tires and wheels on Ebay. Those are no where to be found now and have disappeared from my cart as well. I do not want to 3D print them since the tires would also be resin/filament and that is worse than the skinnies on Corgis. I seen the replacement tires on some sites like MSW and Truckmo and the shipping is killing any deal. I was wondering if you guys have any leads to the type of sets I need. My Corgis are mostly Scania, Volvos, a stray MAN and DAF. Tthe trucks are mostly from the late 90s and early 2000s. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in anticipation.

So are you looking for fronts or twin rears? What brands suit better? CAW

I would buy tires and wheels from Tekno. Another place I have found Tekno parts is Maguirres in the UK. Their shipping costs aren't too bad. https://www.ebay.com/str/maguiremodels?_trksid=p4429486.m3561.l161211

WSI has wheel and tire sets you can mix and match to suit your needs. Either they are a hot item or they don't make many at once because it can be hard to find them in stock.

I did find Maguires while searching for the wheels but they don't have tires. WSI asks me to visit any of their dealers. While searching the forum last night, I came across this topic and there are quite some gems there. 1:50 wheels and tires I will contact modeltruckparts and see if they can help me.
