This sounds like the description of the tread pattern that first appeared in Australia on Unimogs, called the "NATO; or "Mog" pattern. These have been produced in this pattern in 9.00-16, 11.00-20 and 12.00-20 and made by Dunlop, Michelin and Alliance for a variety of equipment. The pattern is actually a WW2 German design. Alliance have factories in USA and Israel, and if this is the tread that Coker have, then I suspect that it would be an Alliance tyre. Keith has a pic of a Fordson WOT2 in the Bandiana Museum wearing Alliance 9.00-16's (from a M119 Hamel 105mm gun, no less!), which suggests that they may fit "British" rims. Keith, could you share the pic?
