25 pounder tyres 8.25 x 16

Does anyone know if there are, currently available, tyres to fit the 25 pdr rim?
I am looking for 8.25 x 16" in a bar or mud/snow tread.
Cheers, Wayne.

I would assume most people fit 9.00 X 16 tyres as the army must have done post-war.

post war tyre

Thanks Hanno, those pics are a perfect example of how the wider 900 x 16 tyre hang over the edge of the firing platform.

But even with a narrower tyre on those rims, the centreline of the tread will still be on the edge of the platform step?
