The great tire debate

of many years ago about the wheels and tires on the Tamiya M8 came to mind with all the debate about the DML howitzer tires. So today I dug out some left over M8 Wheels and put the caliper to them. Low and behold the 9.00 x 20 tires scale out to 40.42 scale inches, right in the middle of the 40.1-40.7 range said to be correct for the M2A1 Howitzer. Even better they look right to the Mark 1 eyeball. One word of caution if you use the M8 wheels as I intend to, use the front wheels as they have the greese cap on the center bearing.

Hope this helps,

Tom Owens
