  please identify a tire?
 
I was wondering whether someone could identify this tire/tyre. A BrickLink or Peeron code would be appreciated, or the number of a set with this tire. I've looked through the BrickLink database with no luck, which I assume is about the same as the (...) (20 years ago, 29-Feb-04, to lugnet.db.brictionary)
