I remember buying these for a few of my cars many years ago when I was first playing around with HO (racing 1/24 full time). They're still available and seemed good, but how do they compare to SuperTires and Wizzard PVTs? The one thing that puts me off about SuperTires is the completely square outside corner/edge. The American Line tires have a nice rounded outer edge. This is all for super stock/modified level cars I'm running.

I got some of those tires still in the pack. I like em because they are soft and low profile.
The ones that I like better though, are the ones that have the lines on the sides like the stock tires do.

Just an FYI, SuperTires can be sanded with no ill effects. I agree that the squared edges sometimes cause a bump ride and I will not hesitate to round out the edges on them.

The Wizzard PVT tires are also very good.

I think pvt tires are the best

PVT one of the best value and grippy slip on tire.
