Mounting new tyres

Why ask is that I have had no real problems mounting 9:00x16s on my HUP. However the 9:00x16s on my C60L rims was much more difficult.

You will undoubtedly be pointed back to previous discussions of this issue.

Good luck

The tyres currently on my C15 are:

Rear- Goodyear 900X16 NDT's circa 1950? Interestingly, the writing is all in Spanish, remember, my truck was ex-Argentinian Army.

Front- Same Goodyear 900X16 NDT's except that they are retreads. They have been ground smooth and have had a highway tread glued on. Strangest thing you've ever seen!

All tyres are stamped:

Solo para rin de 5 (degrees)
Militar
Reforzado

Since there are already 900X16's on the rims, I'm sure the new ones will fit. My only concern is the "Solo para rin de 5 (degrees)" which I take to mean "only for 5 degree rims" . Were there different degreed rims and should I be concerned?
