This posting got me to thinking about Technic tires, so last night I
reached into the tire drawer and pulled out as many different kinds
as I could find. After puzzling around with them and with a ruler
for a while, I came to the following conclusions.
For the following tires, the 1st number in the tire's side-wall
inscription is the tire's width in mm and the 2nd number is the
tire's INNER diameter in mm (ie the diameter of its hub).
Part# Side-wall Inscription Hub Part# Example Set
------- --------------------- --------- -----------
3740 24 x 43 3739 8860
? 20 x 30 ? 8868
6581 20 x 30 (balloon) 6582 9735
2696 13 x 24 (Model Team) 2695 8842
For the following tires, the 1st number in the tire's side-wall
inscription is the tire's OUTER diameter in mm and the 2nd number is the
tire's width in mm.
Part# Side-wall Inscription Hub Part# Example Set
------- --------------------- --------- -----------
6578 30.4 x 14 VR 2994 8247, 2129
6579 43.2 x 28 S 6580 8408
6594 49.6 x 28 VR 6595 8286
2995 68.8 x 40 Q 2896 8437
32003 68.8 x 24 S 32004 8479, 5571
6596 81.6 x 14.2 Z 2903 8422
2902 81.6 x 15 2903 8838, 9719
2997 81.6 x 34 ZR 2998 8880
32196 81.6 x 34 ZR 32197 8448
32076 None 32057 8417
32078 None 32077 8428, 8462
I haven't included the normal tires you find in LEGO System sets,
although a number of them show up in Technic sets frequently.
Can anyone think of any "Technic" tires I've missed?

| (...) Tyres/hubs from sets 5571 and 5563. Not used yet in any technic set, but it's quite a "technic" style tyre/hub couple I think, at least more than 13x24 model team ones, having pin holes rather than axle holes. (these model team tyres looks (...) (25 years ago, 8-Feb-00, to lugnet.technic)
