Thumbs down Rubber tyres

Hi Guys,
has anyone else had the problem where the rubber tyres on their tank have cracked or broken ?
I have a Taigen Panzer III with metal road wheels and rubber tyres, and the rubber is perishing. The tyres are cracking and splitting, and on a couple of the wheels the rubber has broken in two.
A friend has a Panzer III hull Stug, and has a similar problem, though not as bad.
Has anyone else had a similar problem, and if so does this happen to all versions of rubber/ metal wheels?
Does anyone know where I can get replacement tyres ? I don't want to buy new metal wheels, just tyres.

Thanks
Afrikakorps

Hi, If you go to ----

click on "Spare Parts" and go to "Panzer 111",
They have in stock a complete set of TYRES for 17.95 Euros plus postage.

This has always been a problem. After some time the tires start to rot, and the only solution I've been able to come up with is to replace them.

Hey, does Erik (IMEX) offer replacement road-wheel tires?

Thanks Shaun, I will look at both of those sites. Funny how the are both in Germany and no other places sell spares.
No Springman, I looked at the Imex web site and through their online spares catalogue and could not find any.
Hey Crius, looks like we are going to have an ongoing problem ! .... Might be worth getting an extra set as spares ?

Cheers Guys, thanks for the replies.

I have them. Same issue over time. Last time I ordered parts from one of those sites, I added some spare tires to combine the overall shipping.

To be honest guys this is the first time I've had anyone actually express interest in getting some spares tires for them. I'll make sure to order some for you guys on Monday ok?
Let me also see what I have in inventory, I might be able to hook you guys up in the meantime. It is time for an order anyways so this is great timing. You guys gotta make sure and message me when you see things you want ok? You all know how to reach me!
