The tire Adrian links to is the Specialty Tires of America (STA) 10.50-16. Is STA no longer supplying those?
We did get a bit of a surprise when they turned out to not be DOT certified, despite one of the initial suppliers of them saying they were. But they are a good shoe in for the 10.50-16. I only wish there was a chevron 9.00-16 on the North American market. Oppps, never mind. I see you posted the answer while I was typing.

Statement of Interest: New Production 10.50-16 (R-3) Implement Tires
Hello Rob,
The DOT can be a deal breaker indeed, but most if not all the overseas tire manufacture'rs have their own equivalent DOT codes... As to their acceptance in different markets, that is another answer I do not have, but logic tells me that if you have the certification for a specific territory, you should be OK.

DOT “codes” do not translate into equivalents.
Either a tire is DOT rated (USA) or it is not. Whatever level of acceptance it may have in another country matter not.

Statement of Interest: New Production 10.50-16 (R-3) Implement Tires
Well, I don't claim to be an expert here, but one company gave me a DOT code (MK) for their factory when I asked for a DOT approved tire for the US-just to see what the answer would be... Then I realized that for my purposes that did not apply, since in essence we're dealing with a product class that falls under the implement/agricultural tire category with a higher speed rating and load index than what is currently available...

Here is the wartime equivalent of the R-3, unless there is more interest on the Dunlop, yet I don't know what the original thread pattern was called or the exact specs of the tire...

tyre
The tyre on the Chev is from Jim's Indian pattern truck and is fitted (what I have always known them as) with a Sand or Diamond pattern tread. Seen on trucks, C8's as a 13 inch, 6 pounder, towed mortar and some Bofors 40mm AA. I think it was Olympic who made these in certain sizes.
Good luck with your tyre project.

Maybe you could team up with Barry Ring in the UK who is having Trak Grip tyres remade? At least you may learn from him what to do and what not.
