I have a set of the mule tires here, but they are obviously too small for the 6 pdr. I have also used the forklift tires, and can't say I am happy with the look of them either. I picked up a bunch of the tires from the M1A1 bomb cart that seem much closer to the proper size. They are a 9.00-10 rib tire made by dynatrac.

I guess a set is not the right term....a pair. I would have to look to see if they are STA or Coker.

Bear in mind the legal towing limits for unbraked trailers in the UK.

Here are some shots of a 6 pdr tire, the bomb cart tire, and a mule tire. You can see the size differences, although they are exaggerated a little by the angles the tires are sitting. The forklift tires fall somewhere closer to the mule tires.
