Does anybody know where to purchase the tires for the No. 85 racecar set? I have the LTI version, the tires are still usable, but are definitely showing their age. The set came with 4 spares, but there are 2 cars...

I remember seeing them available from the MTH parts booth at York, but that was several years ago. They probably still have them in stock.
Call MTH and order them while you still can! Midge is very helpful in the parts department.

I'm afraid of being able to measure accurately enough. Which size and part number did you order?

Thanks!
I don't know if I have a 20-year shelf life.

Would it be possible to post a pic with the part number (on the other side of the package that's at the lower right of the photo)? Thanks.
Size 324, silicone.
O rings come pretty standardized, if they use a proprietary # they also list the actual size of it somewhere.
McMaster/Carr is a very old and reputable industrial supply house. Write the name down for that "toy store", the quality is there.(note the info seen on the sticker would be very useful to the maker. Should the quality ever come into question they can backtrack to find out why or at least round up defective batches fast)
