Did the road wheels on the Jaagdtiger early production have rubber on them?

The JT's with the Henschel suspension had steel roadwheels. I believe the Porsche suspension did have rubber.

I'm going to to say that the Porsche Jagdtiger had steel wheels also.Just Google the images,you will find actual photos plus photos of models depicting steel.

JagdTigers had all steel wheels.

They were built on KT hulls, and KT used steel wheels, never rubber wheels. Rubber were on (early/mid) Tiger I, not Tiger II.

The rubber is internal, so not visible unless you dismantle the wheel.
