Probably but not with the shock absorption qualities designed into an aircraft tyre.

No great surprise I suppose given the post war period in which they were built. My Foka 5 uses a Me109 tyre.

I'm sure other ES60 owners have done something similar. I replaced the Spitfire/Wirraway tailwheel hub on my GB and saved a kg. and a half in weight.

In their list it is a military tyre for the tail wheel of Hawker Hurricanes only. Since it is military The UK government require an ‘end user undertaking/certificate’ before it can be sold to me. There is a lot of work in getting one of those things signed off.
