Incredibly geeky

Did you know that the 737-800's main  tyres are almost exactly the same dimensions as those of the Shuttle?

The 330 and 360 used the same tyre size but different ply; I'll bet that caused some confusion.

Super Frelon and Puma used the same tyres.

Highest ply rating appears to be 36 on the A340-600 and MD-11.
