Dose anyone around here know of any company that makes tires for the humvee kits for OIF. I though that their was one company that made a set that also included springs for the kit as well, if someone knows will you let me know, i just got my kit, and I'm looking for some new tires instead of the ones that come with it. also a kit number and even pics would be great as well.

Check out the reviews done on the various Blast Model parts. I suspect some of them are what you are looking for.

Blast Model Reviews

Hey Carn,

One of the best are from Pro-Art models. It's a manufacturer from Belgium, who has a wide range of conversions and add-on's for the Humvee. The best set wheels are the aggresive pattern desert wheels.
But hey....Find out yourself, here's the link....

Even if it doesn't take the latest offerings into account, there's an interesting comparison review on PMMS :

The aftermarket set that includes Humvee suspension parts and weighted wheels has been released by Calibre35 :

If you want an accurate looking Humvee then dont use the Blast ones becuase they say Gooyear instead of goodyear-which I suspect is to do with copyright or something. I found this error was just too obvious and ruined the model a little.

Whilst I havent got them yet id say the MIG ones look the best, I will hopefully have a set soon. They look perfect and usually MIG stuff is pretty damn spot on. By the way Pro arts wheels are just liscenced copies of the Blast wheels and are still spelt wrong. I believe(according to Gino) you can actually still use the older pattern tyres for some Humvees and that be the case tamiyas tires look pretty damn good.

If you want correct "aggressive" pattern tires, go with the MIG ones..

Blast has indeed "Gooyear" on the side, as ProArt Models have a license to copy Blast's tires, they also got the spelling "mistake". Further, also the centre pattern on the tire is wrong, the arrow like ribs in the middle of the pattern are centred on the Blast/ProArt ones, and should be slightly off-centre to left or right.

Mig tires can be seen at http://www.migproductions.com/MP/products/35255/35255.htm ..

At the moment, also the older pattern are still used, have already seen pictures of Humvees in Iraq with the old tires. Although Tamiya supplied pretty good tires with the kit, I prefer the Trakz set..
