I wonder how the size compares to a Bud/Lou, or a Dilly 5? I mean actual width because we all know the numbers on the sidewall really have little relation to the actual tire size, especially when it also says Vee Rubber on it. :) Nothing against the Vee tires, but my one bike has a 4.7 Snowshoe and a 4.5 snowshoe on it and both are the same tire and only about 4.25 in reality... And they are the same width as the H-Billie 4.25 I have.

My understanding is that the 4.7 and 4.5 snowshoes are the same tire different label, 238~240mm bead to bead. The 4.8 is 260mm bead to bead, the same as a Bud/Lou.

No doubt this will be a big tire and I doubt it's alone. Lugs look huge but it's hard to say from an obscure angle pic such as this.
