If that is how they came, then it is probably right, although it does seem a little strange. Traction tire equipped drivers may have a grove cut into the tread of the wheel to accept the tire, so you may want to (carefully!) peel up the tire and see if there is a groove. If so, it is probably on the correct driver.

Hope that helps.

Traction tires should both be on the same axle. For a 4-8-4, they should probably be on the 3rd axle.
