They look pretty good. I have put many American style tyres (tapered bead) on blitz rims and never had a problem. If you have to change them when very new they can be a bugger to get off. After a bit of running they seem to take a set to the flat rim shape and seem easier to remove. Also ran for thousands of kilometres with a 1/2 ton dodge with British flat bead tyres on the American rims with no problems. All not too kosher but I am very surprised you found a tyre fitter who had ever seen these rims let alone started jacking up on the "secret" difference between rim styles - must have been an old time tradesman. Everyone I have been too in the last few years with military rims asks how to get them apart and when I come back says it was a hell of a job. You might put up your mate's contact details as there are lots of people after 9.00-16 at a reasonable price. Lang |

I'm still working on this. I'm just waiting on a quote for some other tires so I can up it to a 40ft container.

BTT - any updates available on this, guys?
I'm looking for a set of tyres, all I can find really are NDCC bar grips. Thanks, Hanno
