Please help ID some aircraft tyres

These have been recovered from a large dump that I can not reveal the whereabouts of. They are likely to be from civil aircraft from the 50’s, can anybody help ID them?
first of all what I expect is a tail wheel marked as 27A and a separate 8.00-7 and dated 1953, and a couple of main wheels marked 45.16-00-18, photo below. I would say this is around the size of a bus tyre!

The only ref I can find for 8.00-7 is Heron MkIV, so that must be it
