I'm gettin' fuzzy in my old age, got a bad case of CRS.
Which Monogram kits had these same tires and wheels as in the Sweetee, Hangman, Tijuana Taxi, and Dragon/Circus Wagon? Any others?

The Hangman and Dragon/Circus Wagon had the same wheels. They are similar to the Sweetee wheels, but don’t *think* they are actually the same. All the original Sweetee wheels I’ve seen look like they have thicker spokes than the Dragon Wagon wheels.
The Tijuana Taxi has the same wheels as the Baja Bandito/Beast/Firebomb. Also the Son Of Ford. And the front wheels were also used in the Badman (currently Revell’s 55 Chevy Bel Air).
All those wheel sets use the same tire combo of small Goodyears in front and the Goodyear slicks in the rear.

I don't know if the wheels changed when the Dragon Wagon was retooled as the Circus Wagon, but I put a set of Sweetee wheels alongside a set of Dragon Wagon wheels and can't see any difference at all.

Thanks Brian and Harley!
I agree with Harley, the Sweetee ARE the same, for sure. I knew the fronts of the Badman were, but I also knew the back were not. Thanks Brian, I knew but didn't remember (CRS, you know?) the Bandito/Beast/Firebomb and Son of Ford- thanks for reminding me!
