They are the same as fitted to the #136 Vauxhall Viva. quite small diameter, shiny with a fine tread.

Thanks for the info, I'll have a look on the tyre chart and see if the Viva is listed.

The Viva does appear on the October 1963 official Dinky Toys tyre chart but of course not the Escort (not released until 1968). I don't have a Viva box handy but I htink the number for the Viva tyre is...091.
