That certainly fits the bill, Qld a bit far away for only one tyre. I have heard of a guy local who has bought a new ute for the farm and has no use for the Suzi, A friend is going to talk to him about a deal, it has 5 wheels with bar tread tyres, He believes they are road worthy.

Thanks for looking out for me.

Cheers

The combat rims were the result of trying to make tyre changing easier for soldiers
This is not actually correct.
They are ment to have a ring in the tyre that makes them a bead locker.
So the jeep could be driven with a flat tyre. That is why they are called combat rims.

Go the conbat rims, had them on my jeep for 10 years and the only problem I have had is buckles, but I made a straightener and all is good.
Jeeps look wrong with out them.
