C60L replacement tyres

[Bob McNeill]

Since you are only looking for cheap replacements until you can afford good ones , go to your local tyre service, get 10.00 X 20 or 11.00 X 20 drive [ lug ] tyres with some life left, trim the 15% inner edge off with sharp knife, fit and enjoy. road pattern are so much quieter.

US NDCC tyres will go on WD rims but they are very hard to get off. You will most likely find you will need to get a truck tyre centre to remove them. I recently fitted 10.50 x 16 tyres to WD rims. Tyres were 'Specialty Tyres of America" brand. One went flat and I had to get a truck place to press the tyre off. Problem is the 5 degree angle on US tyres which has been well covered in other threads on this forum.

You shouldn't break the bead on the 16 inch until you throw them out. Pull the rim half's apart and block them with wood blocks until you can pull the tube out one side at a time.
I posted a thread on that last year i think.
20 inch rims of mine have come apart very easy compared to the 16's.

Cory:
When you do get whatever size 20" tire you decide to go with, do let us know how easily or tough they are to install. As I and some others have experienced, we have had no issues mounting 20" tires onto the 20 inch rims. Others are relating that they have. I suspect others are transferring the problems they had with 16" modern tires on the WD rims into this 20" discussion.

So let us know how it goes with 20" tires.

Thanks for the advice guys.

So will NDT tyres fit the WD rims as well? After looking into these they seem to be more readily available here in AUS compared to the NDCC.

I'll let you know I get on.

Cheers

What this all boils down to is that any 20" tyre should go on your 20" Blitz wheels so long as the width is not to different to the 10.50. I've seen them with 12.00 - 20 on them when cheap ex Acco tyres were about.

Be wary of agricultural tyres, some are marked 'for implement use only' or 'not for highway use' and may be strictly speed limited.

The W8 specification may refer to a load rating. Your tyre service should be able to tell you.
