I think you are just right. I assumed that they the same ones from the
sets 8459/5561/8858 but now realized that they look smaller (actually
narrower) when I recheck the picture of set 8446.

Those have some variations through Lego history, too. Look at the
picture:
http://www.brickshelf.com/scans/0000/0394/0394-08.html
And their material now is much more soft and elastic than the one that
used in 70's and 80's. (I have many broken 2x2 axlehole hubs that break
while inserting them into those "hard" ones.
And there are two others for the same wheels, but not used in technic
sets ever. One is the smooth type of the smaller one (the oldest lego
tyre? -even it has two versions by the way, older gary and newer black
ones) and the other is a kind of tank tread that used widely in 1970's
6-wide vehicle models.
It's kind of off-topic for this group but what about making a complete
list of ALL Lego tyres/wheels/wheel hubs?
