Fascinating. So there are 3 distinct tires with "20 x 30" written
on the sidewall. You are correct. I think the "foamy" type tires
came with the 8280 fire truck, too.

Indeed, our European friends are correct. I thought these were the
same, but they are not. The 8479 tires are smaller and narrower.
Ok. Here's my revised table containing wheels from both Technic and
Model Team:
Part# Side-wall Inscription Hub Part# Example Set
------- --------------------- --------- -----------
3740 24 x 43 (foamy) 3739 8860
? 20 x 30 (foamy) 4266 8868
2857 20 x 30 (foamy balloon) 4266 9735
6581 20 x 30 (rubber 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
32019 62.4 x 20 S 32020 8479
2995 68.8 x 40 Q 2896 8437
32003 68.8 x 24 S 32004 5571 (Model Team only)
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
Once again, any mistakes or omissions?
