I agree with the statement regarding the MTH tires being better. The only problem I had using the MTH tires is they tend to be a bit thicker tire. So they can come close to touching the break shoes on the steam engines some times.
Just for reference, the Lionel traction tire P/N 6308071206 has P/N 6101207206 listed as an alternative.
The P/N 6308071206 is 1.00" ID x .046" TH x .118" WD. (out of stock)
The P/N 6101207206 is 1.00" ID x .050" TH x .118" WD. (in stock currently at the Lionel Parts website)
The MTH tires I have are ~1" ID x .056" TH x .123" WD
Probable will not matter, but at least you now have the information.

Thank you for that info Dave. I must have got my numbers crossed because I was coming up with dead ends with the part number search.

Good info on the MTH traction tires!
