Heads Up: Statement of Interest: New Production 10.50-16 (R-3) Implement Tires

[chris vickery]

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.

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...

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.

Hello Hanno!

Thank you very much for the heads up! I just made contact... No matter who produces the 10.50-16 tires, it sure be nice to have the correct size on my rig...
