Hi,

I recently started on Scalextric, after I saw a picture of myself playing with an oval one when I was 4 years old in the 70's, all those great memories came back in a second, and I couldn't resist the idea to start over, specially when I'm having my first child in a few weeks (I guess this is an old excuse)

Anyway I was wondering if is possible to buy 1:32 new tyres on different sizes with print brand on the side (Michellin, Good Year, Dunlop)

Cheers and sorry for the newbie post.

Or maybe some decals to put the letters on tires?

that's a good option, maybe is not that important, but I think some cars look a lot better with this tyres...

I 've been making my own decals for my tires.

I apply the decal to the tire,wait a day or two,then I brush on Future floor finish to the decal / side wall of the tire.

The decals look great to me

Do you want to sell tire decals or is making your own something we can do?

A lot of our cars have replacement rear tires and getting lettering back on would sure be cool.

Looks really good Ice, could you recommend a place where to get decals?

Did you ever find any tire lettering?

I have placed some Slot It tyres with "Michelin", "Dunlop" etc on eBay under user name fw14b if that would help.

I make all my own decals for tyres. I used to print them onto decal paper and stick them on but found they would come off when running. Also certain compounds of tyres didn't like this.

I have started printing them on regular paper and super gluing them to the tyre. I add a TINY bit of super glue to the tyre with a cocktail stick and apply the decal with tweezers.

I don't do any more than that and they come out great and are really robust.

Pattos (Google "pattos place") has a selection of tyre "decals". I now use the stickers which blend well on the tyre (no visible edges) and stick well onto all the makes of tyre I have tried.

Cheers,

Cheer Phillip,

I've been looking at Pattos web page, and I saw the sticker option...are these good even to use on cars that I plan to race with or just for exhibit ones?
