Harry,
Your OCD is showing! :lol:

Great idea. Would save me from ordering tires I already have. Love to have the file you created. :D

I have been thinking about this for ages. Right now, they are all in ziplock bags in a box in the slot car cabinet. There's a big bag of Supertires, and a big bag of PG, and several smaller bags of various types, mostly replacement factory stock tires. The trouble is, I always go digging in the PG tires bag first, and lay it all out on the table as I search. If I don't have it, I put it all back and go through the Supertires bag the same way. It does get old after a while, since there are so many different kinds of cars I am fond of. Honestly, when I get a freebie from a manufacturer when I do a big order, I almost always already have a car for them, especially the PG tires, since they stretch so beautifully.

LOL, yes it is Junior :)

Tony, I can share this with you easily enough. When you need it, just ask away. You can just use the login I created and go directly to it. I can send you that in email/pm.

I have a couple of Plano containers, I put labels on the bottom so I can see them without opening it up. The Plano outlet isn't too far away so I can get them relatively cheap.

Nice...who'd have thought you have CDO?

I think I'm going to do this on a smaller scale. Nice work though!

Junior, the great thing about those Plano Outlet stores is that they frequently carry items that never made it to the mass market. Lots a great goodies there. When I lived in Texas, there was a Plano Outlet about 45 mins away, and they had things you never would have thought of, in small quantities, and things made under contract for the military and others that you never would have seen.

I did the same thing several years ago, my cabinet has 24 drawers. Some of the drawers are for CBD wheels and are marked with the wheel size and the part numbers of the tires that fit them. The drawers that are used to store tires have the part number and the size of wheels that they fit. Since all of my cars have aftermarket wheels I don't have many tires that are made for plastic wheels. The few of those that I have are hanging on a pegboard. Right now the drawers have hand printed labels, as a rainey day project I may print up some new labels.

Truth is, it just stops me from ordering tires I know I already have...just cannot find :)

Just don't keep them in the bags and accidentally mix them up!!!!

I've got my tires and various parts in identical drawers under my new work desk. I don't have mine labeled yet, still haven't gotten around to it. They are great storage
