tyre tags

There is a set from after market... TABU20034B



But also only 4 pcs. of these decals.

You could always print them on paper and glue them on. They are after all sticky backed paper labels. Don’t forget you may need different stickers for front vs. rear tyres. I make my own.

Can you specify that more precisely! I can't make out all of the information on the stickers... Thank you.

You may have to search otherwise if you want to be more specific. Remember if the scale is small enough, lettering may be so small you can read clearly anyway. I have made 1/25 scale tire stickers.you need to balance size/legibility/scale, as you may not be able to have all at the same time.

I also found such a brochure from GoodYear. However, it is more designed for Nascar. The letters blue and "Racing" were written here.

With F1 it's always "Eagle" ...
It's hard to find really good pictures. I haven't found that much so far.
I also noticed that it didn't necessarily have a bar code on it and that some of the stickers were colored. Maybe to be able to distinguish the tires more quickly.

For decals there are "always" the same version of Aftermarket decals.
DecalPool probably created a template and then copied it again and again!

Here are some pictures:

Nascar...


F1...
(Frensh GP 1988 - orange sticker)
(Spanish GP 1988 - orange sticker)
(Italian GP 1988 - orange sticker)
(Mexican GP 1988 - orange sticker)
(Spanish GP 1989 - B/W sticker)
(German GP 1989 - B/W sticker)
(Mexican GP 1989 - B/W sticker)
(Portugese GP - B/W sticker)

And some in Goodyear documents (I think Nascar stickers)...


And this from modeling...


Wim has decals for the MP4/4 (scale: 1/8), there are also additional handwritten markings. Maybe he can say more about it. Or he can help us with better pictures.

The badges changed from year to year, they are different depending on the year, so references for the depending year are needed to go full scale.

Hi GP,
Yes, it seems you are right, the problem is finding good photos of the tags, they are few and far between, Steinietrabi has found the best so far.
I just spent last evening going through 5000plus images on the LAT site and not found any better.
Do you have any pictures of tyre tags that you can post here or send as PM?

I have to check my references, don`t know where i have them but i also found not realy much about it. Which year are we talking about or better, are you looking for?
There is also a difference in between front and rear tyres, tyre size is marked too on the badge!

[steinietrabi]

I think it's about the McLaren MP4 / 6 and therefore the year 1990.
But I think it would be interesting and a good collection if you could find as many as possible.

If it is the MP 4/6 everything is fine, that`s where i have good pics for front and rear tyres...

Hi,

The F1Specialties RT-16 is just perfect!
Both 1/12 & 1/20 for tires and temp sensors.
