Hello ALl,

Having a quick look again at Keith's truck... it is pretty hard to miss it on the page... and the condition of the tyres raises a question or two or maybe three. How hard is it to get tyres for these trucks in Australia are they readily available or from limited suppliers and cost the earth? What would you pay for a new one?

Kind Regards
Lionel

Tyres in that size (or near enough) are much more readily available than in the 16 inch range.

The original size was 10.50-20, and there is a huge variety of commercial truck patterns available in 10.00-20 and 11.00-20 to choose from. A military tread is available in 11.00-20 (MRF brand is $320), but it is also common to see 12.00-20s fitted as these are available cheaply from Defence Auctions ( as low as $20 per tyre) as removed from ACCOs and Unimogs.
