Leopard tanks ( and all other tanks) sustain damage to the rubber tyres on their road wheels.  In the Australian Army when a road wheel is 40% damaged / chunked / missing it gets replaced.  The set provides replacement road wheels and idler for one tank.  The cuts have been removed and the bolt detail enhanced.

The set is designed to replace the original Leopard 1 road wheels and idler.  For some reason Italeri has cut a series of grooves into the kit tyres that are simply not there.  It is possible that they misinterpreted the discolouration on the road wheel due to the gaps in the tracks.  The cuts have been removed and the bolt detail enhanced.
