CP5670 Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 What is your favorite type of wheel among the large-scale vehicle themes? (Technic, Model Team, Creator, Racers, etc.) You can find a list here. My choice is the old 20x30, made of a hard foam-like material and used in many 80s and early 90s Technic sets. Its medium size and flat shape make it quite versatile and it works well on almost any type of construction vehicle or off-road truck. The tire is long out of production, but the hub is interestingly still around and used as a decorative piece in some themes. The 62.4x20 is a close second for me and has the same dimensions. It's good that they have become common in recent years after their initially limited introduction in 1997. However, I like how the foam tires hold up heavy models better than the modern rubber ones.

Wow that's a tough call. There are so many to choose from and so many different categories, so I'm going to cheat: - Balloon Tires/Wheels: 62x46 as seen in the Power Puller and 4x4 Off Roader: - Truck Tires/Wheels: 68.8x24 Model Team as seen in the Black Cat Rig. The Technic wheels and tires 62.4x20 are very similar and almost as good. - Motorcycle Tires/Wheels: No question here. The winner is the rear tire from 8420. - Racing/Road Tires/Wheels: This is the toughest category. But I have to go with the 84.6x34 ZR from the Super Street Sensation. Quote
Natman8000 Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 I'm no technic junkie so I only have normal system tires so my favorite would be the new thick tires from swamp raid. Quote

CP5670 Posted March 22, 2009 Author Posted March 22, 2009 Maybe I should change the original post to read "wheels." - Balloon Tires/Wheels: 62x46 as seen in the Power Puller and 4x4 Off Roader: These are massive and totally dwarf anything else we've seen in Technic. I think the 62x46 here refers to only the hub and not the tire, which also indicates how big they are. The 68.8x24 is very nice too. The only issue is that they are so rare and expensive today, unlike the 62.4x20. Quote
