A company called Glennis Aircraft makes some very nice scale wheels.

http://www.glennis.com/

Hope this helps.

Thanks of the Glennis site. Never new it existed. Haven't been in the model building very long. Looks like they have what I need.
Thanks again!

You're welcome. I understand they're kinda pricey, so be prepared.

I have 4 1/2" inflatable wheels fro DuBro they have a scale like tread on my 1/5 scale Waco. Think they where about $14 each.

On close inspection the Glennis site has some very nice tires and what I want. However, when I convert to Canadian dollars one gets a little weak in the knees over the price tag. The search will continue. The big thing is finding tires with diamond treads.
Thanks again to those who have posted replies.
