Help Wanted To Identify German Aircraft Tyre

Can anyone give me more information on this tyre. I take it to be from a tail wheel and seems never to have had a tread. Size marked 500×180, 7.00 – 7 1/2. It turned up in the Coventry area. Regards, Simon

Many thanks for that. Interesting though it is, this is one thing I can’t justify hanging on to, so the extra information is a great help.

Apparently it is the nose wheel for:

Main wheel for:

Arado 76, Fi-156

Tail Wheel for:

Do 17 Z, Do 215, Fw 200 A, He 111, Ju 52, Me 210

or the nosewheel off a Mig-21 ; )
