Just ordered a bunch of tires from Tom Hiester's Miniature Cars...just love them. Excellent service and I really can't emphasize enough on the quality of fit and finish of these tires. I will be ordering more. Love those colors!!



PS - that yellow circle on the roof of the green Torino is a reflection!

Tom's a nice guy to deal with. I got to say hello face to face at the Dec. 9 slot car and model show in Morgantown, PA. His table was right around the aisle from mine. He and his wife are carrying on the Penn Valley Hobby tires for us all, and that's a real good thing.
Been using those 'PVH' tires for many years. They fit and work nice, don't they? I personally use black tires for most cars, but I'll occasionally use red or white if I want that retro aj's look. Fortunately, I've got a small amount of the red and white aj's from the 60's still kickin' around. Wish the newer ones REH makes were as good as the originals. They're still OK, though.
Nice to see a bunch of American street stockers in your racing stable. The Nova looks great in red! Is that a purple Challeger or a 'cuda behind the blue Torino?
Enjoy! -- Ernie

Thanks Ernie,
This is my current crop of AW TJets:

The tires are really nice as I have said. t's really great to find products like this are still made and offered at a great price. As you can see, I have a couple of Challengers mixed in the with Cudas.

COOL !! Looks like you've got a pit full of racers to keep the track 'hot'. I think I see a few original A/FX cars in there, too!
Have fun... Ernie
