Traction tires. Where do you guys find them? - Dan_In_MN - 09-01-2015
I've seen traction tires on Ebay now and then, but they want an arm and toe for them! LoL~!
Where do you guys find replacement tires at a reasonable price?
Thanks for your input!

I have bought a lot of official Tomy/Plarail replacement tires new in their package from over seas at what I consider inexpensive prices. It just takes a few extra days to get to you. My suggestion is to buy enough to have plenty of extras on hand for future repairs. Here is a list of some available on Ebay. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_sop=15&_nkw=plarail%20tires&rt=nc&LH_PrefLoc=1&_trksid=p2045573.m1684

I get them from broken trains.

Looking over the list that Super linked I concur on the prices, you can end up paying up to 400-500 yen buying them straight from a store in Japan, so $1-2 of markup is fair.
Edit: Also if you have Prime this may be interesting, $6 at the time of writing, with even cheaper non prime options: https://www.amazon.com/Plarail-Repair-Parts-Rubber-16pcs/dp/B000LXS8IM

Super helped me get some special black ones that I use for special customs etc but I have bought them from ebay in the past

I've seen them on Amazon, myself. Reasonably priced around $6.00, before shipping?

The current $6 price is before shipping, but it is prime eligible so free two day shipping should you have prime. However in the other buying options the cheapest is $3.93 right now, with free shipping even if you dont have prime, great deal.
