 That's very good news re 10.50-18s. If they are a usable road pattern (ie: not tractor mud herringbone, etc), and not something like 20ply, then as Keith said they will be warmly received. I can think of 3 people that would be interested in 4 or 5 ea, maybe even at $425.

Road is probably the equivalent of Lithgow to Mudgee - you know, pretty good except for the one spine jarring pot hole where the milk truck turns onto the main road from the one surviving Dairy farm. Keep the banter coming.....your quips are still better then my best jokes.

Stumbling block
and not something like 20ply, then as Keith said they will be warmly received.
 This information comes from Frank Cross Tyres in Dubbo - The first two types of tyres shown here are a 10 ply  as are the light truck tyres shown on the previous thread. Apparently they are speed rated at 90-100km/h.There is a Swedish made radial 10.5 X 18 that also comes with a Swedish made price tag. The boys at Frank Cross said probably double ($800 Aust) but could not give me an exact figure.  Apparently these prices can drop a fair bit. It depends on 'How much they can screw their supplier down'. If 10 ply tyres are no good - sorry for getting anyone excited. They did say if they came across any type of 18" radial they would let me know via E-mail.

18" Tyres for sale
Since I sold Puff down Under, I now have one NOS 8.25 x 18 tyre wrapped up in the garage that I can sell, bought it after being referred from a link on here.
I don't remember the brand, but it is an original, NOS, not perished or whatever, road tread. I also own two in the US which I have yet to get picked up, so if anyone reading this in the US wants two I'll put them in touch with the guy who is holding them. Gordon

I am currently trying to track down who got the bulk of the gama goat tires my friend had,he has since passed away and his collection was liquidated but i sorted through some of the 10,000 yes 10,000 GG tires on wheels When i bought the load of twenty i brought back last i saw him.
it's very sad he's departed.. i will keep you posted on the search oh and the GG tires are a chopped nylon non belted tire..i run them on my M37..they are load range C..max pressure is 22psi..they have worked wonderfully for me but they are very soft and have a large contact patch.Steering is a bit tougher and undampened oscillations on washboard roads are an exciting adventure..but in mud and soft conditions the are awesome..i would not however ever consider using them on a dukw..that is pure danger imho...far too much load and with heat buildup and such or overinflation its just asking for injury.If i was planning to load my M37 to the GVW and take it down the highway i would think twice.. They are also tubeless with a split ring..i was shocked..but its the truth..i couldnt believe it when i took one apart to change a valve stem.. Corey

G'day folks,
Sorry to be a pest and raise the dead, but did anything ever eventuate in relation to 10.50-18 tyres? Are the $425 ones still available? Cheers, Matt
