Could anyone tell me the internal diameter of the two sizes of traction tyres used on LGB locomotives?

I’ve been experimenting with silicone O-rings and found that two 26mm x 2mm side by side work quite well but would like to try some other sizes.

Thanks

I believe there are 4 sizes for LGB, though two are fairly obscure. My new packet of E126174, which does all the popular locos with the 37.5mm wheel, has unstretched rings of internal diameter 26mm.

Thanks. Looks like I chose the right one for the larger wheels.

Has anyone replaced any traction tyres on an LGB GE 2/4 or GE 4/4 III ?
