Hornby Schools traction tyres

All Hornby Schools use traction tyres, even the main range, and my Railroad Schools has lost one.

 

Questions: X6451, the correct part number, is unavailable (Hornby spares being more miss than hit, even for consumables like this).  However, X9763 is available and is also described as a Schools traction tyre.  Will it fit?

 

Also, does anyone know what traction tyre the "main range" Schools takes?  The service sheet doesn't even show them, just the obviously grooved wheels!

If you can't get replacements you might try filling the grooves with RTV and carving off the excess once it has cured.
