Hello:
Might anyone ID this tire & wheel. Likely from a post-war jet?

Goodyear lists only one aircraft tire in this size, for the SAAB 2000. Also I believe the B-52's wing-tip wheels are this size as well.

I believe that Corsair, Hellcat, Skyraider also use this tire on the MLG.

That looks similar to a wheel I've seen on a Corsair, but I've also seen something like that on the T-33, so I don't know if it's just a "common design".

The wheel looks Jet. ID of the axle bearings is pretty big.
V, what does the other side look like? How big is the brake disc or does it have one?
