Hi

it seems, there are no AM tires for Trumpeters SdKfz 8 with Flak 18 available. Did the SdKfz 8 used the same tires as the SdKfz 9, so that I can use SdKfz 9 AM tires for it.

Thanks for helping.

The 18-tonne Zugkraftwagen used 12.75x20 tyres. My copy of the N&B book on the 12-tonne is not to hand but hopefully someone else has a copy and can check that. My suspicion is that they were completely different, given the different manufacturers and significantly different vehicle size and capacities.

The only wheels/tyres I've seen for the Sd.kfz 8 are from MR Modelbau but these are for the armoured version Trumpeter also makes. I don't think these are suitable for what you want.
Not sure if any aftermarket wheels are available!
