Morning all,

I think Kaczor's suggestion is a great one if you are looking for a set of rubber tyres for the takom jeep :D I just measured the tyres on both my torro ford gpa and Danbury mint willys jeep and the good news is they are nearly identical in size. The willys jeep tyres are approximately 45mm in diameter and 11.6mm wide and the Ford gpa tyres are 44.7mm in diameter and 11.3mm wide approximately, both have outside diameter rims at about 27.2.
I'm not sure of the fitment of the torro tyres onto the takom jeep rims as I don't have one but I'm pretty sure it shouldn't be too difficult and as they are made of rubber they should be reasonably flexible and have a little give in them, hope this helps Image

Cheers,Lee.
