Now this begs a question... Why did TLC produce two very different tyres and
mark them both "20 x 30" ? I'm referring to the largish one found in 8862
Backhoe Grader and the newer one from 6617 Tough Truck Rally. I have one of each

It appears the the rim diameter is 30mm and the rim width is 20mm, but the rims
and tyres are quite incompatible (one being a solid tire, rim # 4266, and the
other a balloon tyre, rim # 6582).
