Oh, oh, oh...

My favourite is the wheel found in <set:8446> and <set:8457>

Tyre 56 x 30R Balloon:

Wheel 49.6 x 28 VR new

The wheel is just perfect for making Killough platforms, it's thin but at the
same time rounded.

See my Killoughs that use this wheel here:

It's also a great off-road wheel:

Jennifer Clark used them on her skip truck...

...and her Skid steer loader!

For realistic looking applications I like the wheels in <set:8479>

Tyre 62.4 x 20 S (32019) & Wheel Center 62.4 x 20 S (32020)

On this page you can find some photos of the wheels:

Also used by Jennifer, this time on her All Terrain Crane:

The cutest must be the small ballon tire:

Tyre 43.2 x 28 Balloon Small

(...) It's too bad the 8457 set comes with only 2 of them, though :( And Lego really should have made more vehicles with the Barcode Truck wheels, they really are that good, the 8462 tow truck would have been much better with those. (21 years ago, 5-Feb-03, to lugnet.general)

Hello all, The "favorite Lego part" topic was cool, but you couldn't really debate on usefulness since there was anything from bricks to motors to pins to tools to hairpieces. Wheels on the other hand can be compared :) Mine is this 20 x 30 rubber (...) (21 years ago, 4-Feb-03, to lugnet.general)
