I think this is a Hurricane tailwheel tyre. The size is 4.00-3½. By the way, I know for certain it is not for a Spitfire.
Can anyone confirm please?

Thanks Fluffy. That’s interesting.
I take it then, like Spitfires, there is no variation in tyre sizes across the Hurricane variants. Would you be able to confirm that?

Hurricane tail wheel tyre size is 4.95 x 3.5 hope this helps

The size is right and if the letters in that circle says WJ.11 the answer is yes. Also used on Proctors and Hectors. Oooooh Hectors…now there’s a real aircraft.Anne.
Thanks for the response Anne. The letters in the circle are actually WJ 14. Does that mean anything to you?
