Default 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.

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..

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
