Hello Everybody,
I would like to ask what do you think about my latest project. It is resin rain tyre for Tamiya MotoGP bikes. It is Michelin but Bridgestone is also in the project list.
If everything goes well it will go to production next week.
Thank you for your feedbacks

Looks great!
The day I'll decide to build the first bike kit I'll get a set of these instead of the boring slicks!

:iagree:
The tires look awesome though, more interested in 1/24 wheels. Altough i think expanding your company into the 1/12 scale is a great idea. Good luck.

Hi,
looks good, I guess, the center parts of the wheels must be sanded away
Maybe another hint: How about Moto-GP tires with tire-warmers ?

Yes you have to cut the center ring
Thanks for the tip, good idea :) but warmer have to be very very thin as there is very small space between the fender and the wheels

Looks super Geronimo! Another hole in aftermarket detailing filled!! How much will they cost?
I too would like the tire warmer set up! As most bikes are on the stand it would make a perfect grid diorama.

Hi brother,
Are the tires in soft compound like the tamiya tires or hard like normal resin??
I am certainly interested in this pieces.
Looking forward to your products!

Hi Gergo,
as you know I'm a big fan of the tyres and can't wait to get my sets.
Looking forward to it.
PS: I've sent you an e-mail about the tyres.
Best regards

Hello everybody
Thank you. Silicon molds are just drying so i can start production very soon :)
It will be normal resin. Rubber things are quite difficult are to produce at a garage level, where my business is at this moment :)

If it is not only raining but also the weather is cold, you might need to change the carbon discs to this:

this might be a silly question, but if the tire is moulded in resin, how would you fit it onto (around) the wheel?
Sorry if I am missing the concept :loser:

You sand off the raised centre part of the kit rim after which the rim can be inserted into the tyre without the need to stretch the tyre.

That's fantastic!!
It will be worth to buy.. once I finish some things I've already started/to do.

Yes, you have to cut that ring from the outer side of the wheel.
