Seems as rubbery as the tires I got with my 8446... maybe slightly more since
they are new and clean !

I know this issue has been discussed before, so forgive any redundancy. After
examining my 8455 backhoe, the larger rear tires (which look just like the
"power puller" type from 8466, but are slightly smaller) are less rubbery than
the power puller version. The 8455 tire material seems to be slightly thinner
and more stiff.

However, the small front tires on the 8455 seem to be identical to the versions
made before. Same sort of rubber, or tire material.
