Playmobil 5258 yellow battery Diesel Loco and Playmobil 4010 red battery Electric (cargo) Loco, I understand that the traction tyres for both of these are the same, and a couple of years back bought a pack of spare tyres. During the summer a couple of tyres went, and the others looked cracked so I changed all the tyres on both locos, however they have all (but 1) broke again, and looking at the spares I have, the unused ones look okay, but I don't trust them. Does any know if Stainz tyres fit, measuring the wheels (without a strip down) the PM wheel seems to be about 0.5mm larger, so at least the Stainz tyre will not be loose - thoughts please.
 
Not sure if the Stainz traction tyre might be a little too wide?

I can measure the unstretched width of a Stainz tyre...
Give me a minute..

Phil, many thanks, the new PM tyres are 2.97mm, and the gap on the rim to take the tyre is 3.2 mm, so it might be a 'snug fit'. but the extra stretch could remedy that ;)
