Thanks Mariano for posting this article. I found it very interesting.
How many of you have experienced a broken spring? I have had one (off road in my 3/4 ton WC Dodge) To break 2400 springs in tyre testing indicates some arduous testing. Its hard to imagine all that and the back aches that went with the day to day driving involved.

Default Dunlop Trak Grip, 9.00 x 16 - Australian made

Hi Hanno,

I have posted some of these before at various places but worth putting them all together in one place.
These are NOS 9.00 x 16" Dunlop Trak Grips made in Australia. Too rare and old to use so I have relegated them to display only. Purchased 5 of them in the nineties from a business 2 km from home.
Note the DD broad arrow on the casing and the "To fit BRITISH wheels"
Hope this is of some interest.

Cheers,

Sorry, I missed the main bit. It's a Good Year Sure Grip. Being a Runflat, shes a heavy b_tch! By the way, It says under the "sure grip" "Made in U.S.A."

Default Firestone Run Flat insert 9.00 x 16

Lynn's run flat tyre photo reminded me:

Just for interest, here is a run flat insert for a 9.00 x 16 tyre made by Firestone in Canada. It may be of interest to those who never saw one in the flesh.

Had it for sale, but no interest was shown in it so sadly it will go to the recyclers soon. Sometimes you just got to let things go.

Cheers,
