Hi guys

Can anybody point me to a pic of the overinflated tires the Germans used in Africa ?? Were they just a standard tire with a little to much air ? Were the rims the same as on the basic issue tires ?
Thanks in advance

Definitely a different, purpose-built tire. It resembles a large inner tube. I am unsure of the wheel issue, but the MMiR Modeler's Guide to the Kubelwagen has wheels that are definitely different from the standard wheels.

Do you need a set of desert wheels or standard wheels?

Don't know for the trucks, but many Kubelwagens used in North Africa were fitted with special "balloon" tires such as those shown on the pic below :

The difference is quite obvious when compared to "classic" tires :


EDIT : here's a better picture :
