BIG BOY TRACTION TIRES

Can someone direct me to what size traction tire I would use for a big boy locomotive?

Many are available but I dont know the size.

Thanks, Nick

The 2020 Big Boy's Lionel made used:  6101207206 TRACTION TIRE / 1.00" ID x .050" TH x .118" WD

You could try MTH part #: DE-0000025.  I quite often utilize MTH traction tires on Lionel items.

On WTB thread you asked about coupler:  COIL COUPLER / MNT B / LENGTH: 2.01" - 6108129550

I use MTH tires most of the time, I find them to be better than some of the Lionel tires.  Many Lionel tires are way too thick and that causes issues with the imitation brake shoes many times.

Thanks guys! Nick
