How does one find the correct size of traction tires required for a Premier steam locomotive? I’m looking for Traction tires for my Premier H10s 20-3563-1. I reviewed the manual thoroughly and there is no info there.

There is a chart... let me dig up a link.
Anyone know where I might find some DE-25 tires? That looks to be the size I need. None on Ebay.
The chart that rplst8 posted is obsolete.
Also, traction tires can be ordered directly from MTH, or purchased from the numerous techs on the forum.
I have a good assortment, email is in my profile.
Go to the MTH web site, under "search" enter "traction tires", It will take you to the latest chart (2020).

As for the first one being obsolete, it mainly just removed info on the part numbers that are no longer available. General rule of thumb is that if the original tire isn’t available either go up or down a size, whichever is closest.
