About product

Wide-profile Toyo R888R 275/30 R20 tires in 1:24 scale

A modeling accessory meant for builders who need heftier rubber than the production form of a car carries. The tires are fitted onto rims obtained separately and serve to finish a sporting car model off; in themselves they are neither a wheel as a whole nor a model of a vehicle.

The real subject

The real subject is the circuit tire Toyo Proxes R888R from the Japanese brand Toyo Tires, that is rubber from the category of extremely high-performance road-homologated semi-slicks. Compared with ordinary road rubber it has substantially fewer grooves and more massive shoulder blocks, which gives it a characteristic square profile seen from the front. The size designation 275/30 R20 from the name belongs to the wider side of the range - on real cars such sizes appear above all on high-performance versions with a widened body.

Building and painting tips

On a wide tire it is the side that gives away the quality of the work most. It pays to let it cure in a vertical position after fitting, so that it does not deform, and only then to finish the model off. You create a realistic patina by dusting a dust shade along the edges of the tread in a very thin coat and leaving the center of the tread darker, as though it were worn by contact with the road. Blend the transition between the two zones with drybrushing.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of cars with a wide-track body and hefty rear rubber
  • Modelers finishing drag and circuit specials off
  • Those who put a wheel together from a tire and a rim to an idea of their own

The goods are an accessory for a part-built model, not a kit of a car in its own right.

FAQ

In the size designation in the name. A higher first figure means a wider tire on the real subject, which on a model shows as heftier rubber and a demand for room in the wheel arch.

Different widths at the front and the rear are common on high-performance cars. Check the sizes against the wheel arches of the part-built model, though, so that the wheel does not rub against the body.

Evening the surface out to matte and adding a very fine hint of dust will help. A glossy surface is the main thing that gives the artificial material away on model tires.
