The Diameter is 85mm and the threadpattern is 25mm. The total width is 31mm. Unfortunately they dont fit on lego rims.

Interesting project Michael. It looks like you like military trucks (especially M.A.N.). 

Pitty that LEGO does not produce such tires :sad:

Michael, you're not the only one who likes modular things. My problem is that I'm to much purist, and third party parts are to expensive for me, so one things are my desires, and another is what is possible complete with LEGO parts. It looks nice. Perhaps I have miss-red previous posts, but can you tell me which is the M.A.N. scale ?

It is the typical 19 wide scale, aproximate 1:16,7

So tires on real machine are Michelin 24R21 (typical industry and military tires with some 1420mm overall diameter) and chassis should be as you said 19 studs wide

The chassis is overal 22 wide because the real thing is wider than standard and your tire diameter should fit

The X73/HX80 has 2 winches which have separate controlls. Would you remote two winches and left the fifth wheel manually, or would you build one winch and remote the fifth wheel?

What do you think?
