Texas 3D Customs new Super Swamp Bogger Tires.

[Mike C.]

Just got my shipment in and these Tires are nice if you like off-road kind of stuff. I'm happy to report that the y will work with 1/24 and 1/25 wheels.  These will look nice on a variety of off-road trucks. Thank you Charles!

This was never the intent of selling the tire separately I don't make money on the tires I make money on the wheels It's just one of those things rubber resin is expensive but when you buy nothing but wheels I make money when you buy nothing but tires I make no money. And while it might seem like I'm being greedy it is a business and it is how I feed my family. The whole intent was to give a selection of tires for my wheels and not pigeonhole a wheel into a certain tire.

Sounds like you need to charge more for the tires. No need to feel bad about asking a price you think is fair. Quality costs money.

I agree with Sean. Your stuff is very high quality. People will complain, even if you're giving things away. Bottom line is, you're in business to make a profit, not break even. I've not yet purchased any tires from you, but I have a couple of engines and a few grilles. You need to make it worth your "while" (Lol), even if it's not as much as what you make on your other products. I will continue to buy from you, so keep doing what you're doing! If your site had a "wish list" or "favorites" function, you would see the many things I'm drooling over, Lol.

    My apologies to Sean for butting in here. Sorry for that.

Modelbuilders as a group like to be resourceful and at times can be cheap. Some will look thru dollar store toys for wheel and tire sets to use in their builds, others will dig through boxes of tires and wheels at model car swap meets looking for sets.

Don't be ashamed if you have to raise your prices for it to make sense to offer items. Anyone who has walked an aisle in a grocery store knows that things are more expensive these days and speaking for myself, I don't expect businesses to survive if they are not making money.

You have brought some nice stuff to the market and us modelers should be grateful for it. If we expect you or any other supplier to be around, we should be prepared to support the community.
