Description

Matchbox Lesney model #18 Field Car was based on a Chrysler Jeep model.

The original regular wheels model has small red hubs approx 6mm diameter. The original tyres were hard plastic and prone to being lost as the red plastic hubs would shrink. The original tyres were 12mm diameter.

This listing is for a set of 5 tyres that will provide a larger more off-road or SUV style to the vehicle.

Note that the plastic hubs are prone to shrinking over time and these tyres are made to fit hubs with some shrinkage. So they may be tight or loose depending on your hubs. Use a drop of super glue if loose and a piece of emery paper on the ID of the tyre if they are tight. Warm water also helps to heat the tyre and hub during fitting.

These tyres are made generally for Dinky or Triang Spot On mid size models.
