Hope that helps….
Sounds sensible and plausible – thanks.
The tyre is available, although I’d rather Spitfire spares & parts as swaps. Open to offers of the hard stuff though…..!

C’mon chaps, I know you know the answers! My guess is something like P-51/P-47 due to it being roughly the same size as my Spit wheel but that’s just suppositon.
