Twin 49.5 tires will be out of proportions and wont look good, however twin 62.4 will look perfect.

Exactly, that is why I would like to see the Model Team ones.

Or LTG can introduce narrow version of 49,5mm tire, using it for front and current version for back, serving as dual tire. Not exactly true to real life, but I think it would be perfect compromise - narrow front, wide back, lower part count.

New more narrow 49.5 tire would be nice, but I'm not an optimist in this case

If they created new mould of existing tire, just for the looks (56898 vs. 30699), then I don't see a reason why not.

vs.

The tire above is mostly used in creator line, but I think 49,5mm tire would be usefull there as well.

Yes, just because a new one looks more authentic and less "toothy" that isn't good for road vehicles. It's the same solid tire with a different tread pattern.

Wonder if the Mack set will have any chrome parts? I like the Chromed parts in the extreme adventure.

What do you mean? 42069 doesn't have any chromed parts

[Jim]

As you will most likely know, he probably means the flat silver connectors.

Ah thats right they weren't full chrome, but they looked nice. I am sure a Mack truck could make use of parts that colour. 

[Jim]

Technically they are indeed not chrome, but they are suspicious  
(just kidding)

lol I did just correct that spelling mistake. lol But they looked really nice under the arches on the extreme adventure, so I'm sure a Mack truck could make good use of parts like that.

True that 

[Aleh]

Do not know how my info is fresh, just leave it there:

42071 - blue compactor with one 5*11 grey panel and unique (for me)  plastic wheels with 5 orange parts: 2 *5L beams, 2*4 x 4 beams, wheels are dbg with blue center

42072 - lime small race car

42073 - red race small car

42084 - tiny red cabin dump truck,

42076 - MAck with trailer with outriggers and arm. Looks not big scaled

could happen 

I was not sure about date so I've posted a link to your post 

@Aleh was probably searching images on net about LEGO Technic 2018 sets and found this image...

[Aleh]

Yeah, sorry! Just did not see the image

Hi. Welcome to EB.

Even though it's not clearly stated in the rules, we don't like links to confidential images being posted here. I have removed the link.

[Ro_off]

anyway, i hope for RC+New Pneumatic, for 170 euro without motor functions is shame.

And, 2018 Anthem model is too glamorous for port-working. Pinnacle or Granit (or LR, of course) much better for container-truck. 

Maybe, new model can look like this, or this. But i dont understand how they make short-base truck with hand-type manipulator - like Arocs or like this.

And, what about B-Modell? Its will be so nice, if it something like my favorite 5590, because Mack have similar LR-truck.
