There's more on that site than meets the eye.... Probably without even knowing it, GCS has provided us with a very likely tire size. Just take a look here: http://www.titan-sf.de/modellbaue.htmlTire size on these trucks is 29,5 R25

Here is a tire that I made from a cheap ERTL CAT loader that I bought from WalMart and modified using nailfile technology. Its mounted on a Smith HH off road rim on the Premay Terberg truck I built.  Robert
