Ah, I see. I think you are right about the rims being smaller. They
are the same style, but looking at pictures of the two types of rims
I can now see that the ones on the 8475 are about 1cm smaller in
diameter. Furthermore, after closer inspection, it appears that the
tires that come with the 8475 that I thought were 8880 tires are not.
They appear to be slightly shorter and perhaps slightly wider (?).
So what we have then are two sizes of rims with the same styling, each
type having both an on-road and off-road tire that fits them. I still
like the on-road tires for the smaller 8475 rims better the ones for
the larger rims (8458 style). IMHO the ones on the 8458 are too wide,
and really only look reasonable for a race-car. The smaller ones look
to have a slightly better height to width ratio.
