True to a backhoe/loader I am considering larger rear tires, but would like to keep the same rims the 30.4 x 20mm ones, and the only yellow rims I know of. I know these size rims have been used extensively on smaller sets in the past several years, like the 8273, 8292, and 8052.

What I am wondering, is there a larger, higher profile tire I can put on those rims. The 8292 and 8052 used the flat tires, but the 8273 uses balloon tires 56x26 ones. I wonder if they would fit under the rear fenders without rubbing. I have a few 8273's MISB, and haven't checked my spare rims/tires collection. I hate to part out one of my 8273's since I planned on selling them MISB.

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

Alasdair - thanks for the link. I think the first match was used on the older construction vehicles, like the 8453 for example. i actually got the set# wrong, it is the 42004, not the 42006 which isn't out yet. Hopefully others don't get confused...I don't know how to modify the topic name.

Just to clarify, I accidentally put in 42006 instead of 42004, which is the mini backhoe/loader which I am speaking of..I can't modify the topic description as far as I know...

I think if you ask an admin they can change the title for you

@kieran - probably not really necessary since being a huge Technic forum I am sure that members would know what I just made a typo with the set#...thanks for the info though in case I screw up in the future...

@kieran - Siegfried helped me out and changed to the right set#...real nice guy

All the sets that have ever used the 56 x 26 tyre: http://rebrickable.com/parts/55976

@legomuppet9-

I just hate to part out a set just for the larger tires...been busy lately, still gotta check my tire collection, but mostly I have standard tires like used in most of the large sets (8285, 9397, 8416, 8258, etc)...I'm going to check today...thanks for the link though, much appreciated
