Tyre companies

Was he talking about the same manufacturer?
It could be helpful if you pointed out to the manufacturer that there are many more Dingos requiring tyres then there are German MVs, making it all the more interesting for them to start producing a few batches. Here's hoping!

Hanno,
It may have been a little too early to jump and down with excitement, the extra 0.5" on the tyre size appears, after a quick check of an original Daimler tyre, to be 2.5" wider and approx. 2" more in diameter.

I get the impression from the website that the ones I initially found, were LKW Reisen, who I think are Continental. Take a look at the website, I know there are probably not many owners of WW2 German vehicles on this site, but it may be of interest;

As it is an Austrian site I have to guess a little at its contents.

If a tyre company goes to the lengths of contemplating tyres of these odd sizes, maybe we can still convince a manufacturer to do a run. There are now over 100 Daimlers on the Register, with a fair few more around the world.
