Rubber/vinyl tires for M977 and M978 kits

I have both the Italeri M977 and M978 kits (very soon to be on the workbench), and I was wondering if anyone has ever seen after-market rubber or vinyl tires for these kits? I hate styrene tires almost as much as I hate indy tracks…

Several manufacturers make resin tires for this kit. Real Models pops to mind and there is another which name escapes me. They make both the Goodyear tire and Michielin tire patterns.

Rob, do you know of any rubber/vinyl ones? I’m not a big fan of resin, usually. How good are they? Since you have these things “at work” [:D] what type of tires do you see most often?

I do not know of any rubber/vinyl ones available. The resin ones are pretty nice. As far as which tire I see more often, it’s like 6 of one, a half dozen of another. Both are common, you will even find both types on the same truck.
