History of 10.50-16 tyres

[mlombard]

Hi

So what was the reason for 9.25 x 16 versus 9.00 x 16 surely when they were trying to keep rubber use to a minimum one tyre would have been easier to produce, Was it something to do with weight carrying capacity, they were both off road tyres right, so there would have been no need for different performance characteristics surely. Was it something to do with the 'run flat' requirement on armoured cars etc.
