Don't know...don't have any Tamiya rubber tires or road wheels. If someone wants to send me a set, I'll have all three and could test them.

Bearings arrived today along with the metal elevation arm. The shoulder in the wheel will need to be lowered so that the bearing will fit flush. I don't know now if I want to mess with drilling those Tamiya wheels. I my try them as is first.

It really doesn't need bearings. I've never worn out a set of Tamiya bushings yet.

In my experience, the bearings work best for very heavy tanks that you use for battling. The bearings make them roll when your tank has 1 or 2 hits left. Sounds trivial, but it makes a big difference in a battle. The Pz4 rolls just fine with the bushings.
