MTH DE-0000025 tires are what I use for Williams and Weaver 2-8-2's.
Same here on the 2-8-2. The list I have shows to use DE-0000031 for the 4-6-2 and the N&W J 4-8-4.
As far as replacing tires, they're no more difficult than replacing tires on MTH steamers. I use 2 tiny flat screwdrivers and work my way around the tire with one while holding the tire steady with the other.
