Sd. Kfz. 9 - Famo - Tire dimensions

Post by Met5 »

Hello!

I need information I can not find anywhere: the tire size of sd.kfz. 9 Famo 18 ton. The only reference I have found is on the book by Dr. Nicolaus Hettler "Nuts & Bolts Vol.12" which states this statement:

"Whell size: 12,75 - 20 extra"

What does it mean?

Normally tire sizes are of the type 155/70 15 where 155 is the tread width (in mm), 70 is the shoulder height in percent of the tread width and 15 in the diameter of the rim in inches.

I'm trying to figure out if the tires of FAMO 1:16 asiatam are correct or if they need replacement. A dear friend tells me that, in his opinion, the Asiatam are a bit small.

Can you help me?!

Thanks, best regards.

Fabio
