Third Party Tires for Lego Technic Rims

[Leonardo da Bricki]

As stated, yes, I believe it does come with four tires. Good deal!

[efferman]

Those ebay link tires are glued to the rims. I have made the same mistake some years ago. You have to search for the beadlock version.

@efferman @mocbuild101 thanks guys! glad I didn't buy them yet...

[mocbuild101]

My new tires have arrived!

The ones I bought are 115mm (available HERE), as of this post there are 2 (sets of 4) left to buy.

They fit perfectly (after 20 mins putting them on ) on the 44772 rims.

Some photos:

My tires finally arrived!

 4x RC 1:10 Rock Crawler Tires 1.9" 108MM 

Thanks to @mocbuild101 for the link, it didn't say it anywhere on the buy page but they do come with foam inserts. took a few weeks to get here but for the price it was fine.

not sure if I have them on the rim right but they work fine. I haven't been able to properly test them yet but based on everyone elses experiences they should be good.

on the left 42000 rim, on the right the 9398 one. on the right you can see horizontal lines for support (i don't know how to call, apologize me)

 

i got the right one with 42000, that is a old rim.

Yes, buying from China is always cheap but slow .

The tires look great, and so does your crawler!

And like @Aventador2004 the rims I use are the old type without reinforcement, it is just a matter of finding the right spot (like my tires!).

A couple of days ago I got some third party tires from China.

  

Some comparison to the Claas tires.   

Looks nice and suits very good! But smells rubber a little bit...

They look great! And are almost the same size as the Claas tires.

That is with most common when something is made in China

The right one is newer rim version. It was a transition time for these rims while 8110, 9398 and 42000 were released, so you can find these sets with both versions.

I couldn't resist huge wheels and tires, so I bought these (130mm (dia) x 56mm (thickness)) and was hoping to be able to put them to good use:

While figuring out how best to adapt to Lego, I realised that their rims' dimension happened to be 61mm (dia) x 50mm (thickness), which is EXTREMELY close to 23800!! Looks like I'll be buying 23800 pretty soon .

So, in case any of you guys want to get these tires, they're available here (~$7). Or, if you can read chinese, this (~$2.7) site sells them at even more ridiculous price!! They come with foam inserts, and weighs 133 gram (without rim).

Those are extremely chunky tires!!!

One question: it that writing on the sides, or just part of the tread?

Yea... chunky but not hard... i think they can grip well...

Those writings are just H and I repeating throughout, quite meaningless I would say... perhaps just for decoration...

[BasvanO]

Anyone any ideas for a max 85mm tire for the smal racing rim 43,8mm??

it must fit on a unimog 406 model.  

[efferman]

Search for 1.55" tires

 

[TeamThrifty]

I've bought some none lego tractor tyres and thought i'd share them with everyone.

They're 130mm * 65mm, so pretty big. The standard hub needed modifying as you can see from the pics, but once done, they're 100% compatible and allow some bigger scale MOC's

I've used them on a Claas Axion 960 and used the Xerion tyres for the front wheels. Scale is around 16.5:1 - i'll create a thread for the MOC itself, its fully RC with 4 motors, diff lock, 4x4 with clutch, 3 point linkage front and rear, PTO...

Pics below show the new tyres, and there's a comparison pic next to unimog wheels.

 

 

 

 

[Boulderer]

Those are monsters!  They look the part though. 

[Aleh]

Wow! Can you make a photo of the disc?

[TeamThrifty]

Of the disc? not sure what you mean... i'll take a photo if you let me know!

 

[Boulderer]

I think this illustrates that there is potential for Lego to make use of larger wheels and tyres than they currently offer.

[Superkoala]

From my point of view, yeah, these thing are really impressive, bu Lego tires are large enough, even too big, for most of the people that don't usually build MOC. I understand that make a 2m long truck is great, but only fiew AFOL can do such a thing, there is no need to commercialize bigger tyre that what already exist

[TeamThrifty]

on a truck i'd agree, but on a tractor for example, fitting in diff lock, 4x4, clutches on both, PF rear 3 point hitch, PF for steering, main drive and pnuematics pump, PTO with a clutch... Which this moc has got, its not really possible at a smaller scale. Using 130mm tyres gives the room needed - but even then, only just. I'll post some pics of it with the wheels off so the density of the functions can been seen.

One thing i would just mention.... they generate a lot of grip, and in turn, a lot of torque in the drive train!! UJ's in particular are vulnerable to being destroyed!!

This may be a more compelling reason for TLG not to use wheels of this size.
