    Default Hobby shops for rubber tyres?

    Hey team, does anyone know of any hobby shops which supply rubber wheels for models which may fit the autobot cars?
    Ive done a bit of online searching and have found a few but im not sure of sizing etc.
    Any help is much appreciated.

    Most, if not all, RID Prime's need tyres.

    I need new tyres for RID/CR Prime, Magnus, Prowl, Sideburn and Brawn. Would it be too much to hope for a reissue with plastic tyres?

    I have the same problem with my RID Prime and Magnus and I've been thinking; does shapeways print in rubber or something more flexible than WSF?

    Because then we could make 3D model and do a bulk order. Just an idea.

    Or reissues with quality rubber like with the original Japanese Car Robot toys. My Super Fire Convoy's tyres are just fine, but my RiD Optimus Prime's are split city.
