I found a 3d model made by someone else that you can try, this is not my model so I don't know how the outcome will look like - www.printables.com/model/801870-realistic-tyres-fo…
-
That simple change makes it look so much better wow Why LEGO didn’t make wider rear tires themselves in the first place is beyond me
-
It's one thing to say it doesn't work, but this, visually, proves it. Those larger tires look so much better and make a huge visual difference! Thanks for making this video to show your point.
-
As the biggest tire company, they decided not no make another wider tire for this set…lol
-
Now it looks like real one. Good job. Start massive production. 😎
-
You are spot on in you criticism and this change. Well done. 👍🏻
-
The issue with the rear tires is this - if they went to the trouble of designing two wheel sizes for this set, that would allow them to easily made more famous F1 car from the 1970-2000s era within the same product line. Seems to me like a win-win solution, they introduce two new fairly universal wheels within one set and said set gets to be much more accurate.
-
oh mah god that is sooooo much better, i wish i could get the set with that because it is quite literally as perfect as it gets. Sadly its not possible so im getting the off road buggy since its cheap and has more functions but this set is definitely "iconic".
-
The wider rear tires definitely look better than all 4 being the same size.
-
They look SOOOOHHHH much better!! I hope someone makes an aftermarket set of these, perhaps even going so far as to make front and rear and include Goodyear printing lol
-
There’s a piece on the Lego website which really goes to town about how accurate they tried to make the car - includes statements like “But like those McLaren engineers responsible for the 1988 original, Ann was determined to capture every tiny detail of this revolutionary design.” and “So how did she go about turning a life-sized car into a perfect miniature replica?” They might have captured a lot of the ‘“tiny” details but perhaps they should have focused more on the big stuff like the rear wheels.
-
Awesome result! With these new rear tyres the car looks perfect! Well done!
-
The tires that you have put on there definitely look a lot better. Might be some modification to be done in the back to make it fit, but this is a good prototype version for now. Thanks for another great review, can’t wait to see your next reviews for the March wave!

I've been considering buying 2 more of the rear tyre parts; then cutting all of them down using a band saw and heat-welding 2 of them together, to make a wider unit
-
I felt the same way when I first saw the similar sized tires. I prefer the wider, truer to scale one you modified. Thanks for sharing!
-
The lego model has the correct 6 spoke black wheel pattern that the MP4-4 used, thats pretty cool.
-
The new rear tyres look fantastic and how I wish Lego had made them in the first place. Thanks for showing us what could be done.👍👏
-
Your modified version looks 100x better. Would love to get those files.
-
Thank heavens! Thank you. I've been pondering upgrades for the set
