Paragon 1/12 tires

Post by R Cane »

I got these in lot with a 10L and my first 1/12 scale, a 12LC.
I can't really find any info on these - when I look up Paragon tires, pretty much all I get is their liquid tire compound. My question is...are these rare, or just nobody bothered to record any info for them?
Not looking for value, per se, but can I use them on a runner without guilt, or should they go to a collector?
I have a personal issue with using rare new old stock parts on a runner... but that's just me.

Paragon's been in business since the early to mid eighties.

I wouldn't worry about saving them since foam donuts won't last forever anyway. Paragon's Centerline wheels and Jump Jets are nice collectibles though.

I'm familiar with the majority of Paragon's products, but I never knew they sold donuts.

When I searched, as I recall, I only saw one other set online...
