ok guys, need some help from some of you experts out there. are the tires on the oshkosh fuel truck the same as the tires for the 5 ton bigfoot.
i have the cam resin updated tires for the 5 ton bigfoot. the dimensions are relatively the same as the oshkosh fuel truck tires. wondering if i cam make a shortcut by making some resin copies of the cam tires and use them on my oshkosh.
thanks for the help
joe

Nope, not the same. They look similar since they do both use tires by Mechelin and Goodyear with similar tread patterns. The HEMMTT tires are bigger than the 5-ton's though.

As said before, the tire patterns are similar based on the manufacturer (Goodyear vs. Michelin), but the size is different. Here are some photos of tire tread patterns in my motor pool:
