Hurricane Tailwheel tyre?

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?

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?
