BTW the old 20x30 wheels are about the same size as these and are much

the 20x30s could be a feasible alternative.

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
in front of me.

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).
