900X13/6 ND tires

I see Wallace Wade is advertising that he has this size coming soon. I was very happy with my 10.50 16's and he was great to deal with, delivering them at the MVPA convention and arranging for a skillful installer.
Are these the size that the C8 and f8 crowds are looking for? Would they fit a Bofors 40mm anti aircraft gun?

Sounds like it is. We had a fairly long thread a year or two back trying to find enough orders for Wallace to take interest in making these. Sounds like it may have worked. I know I will be in for a set, and will also not be so afraid of picking up an 8cwt in the future when the opportunity presents itself.

Any idea of if they fit the Bofors gun carriage?

[rob love]

It is my belief that they do. I have a full set of originals on mine, and some spares in the back shed, but all are 60 years old. I can get any details off the sidewalls to compare with someone who has a set on an 8cwt to compare.

I'll be at the MVPA convention in a couple of weeks, and I'll mention to Wallace that I am in for a set or so. Hopefully if others do the same he will get to these.

Are the same size exactly as 8 cwt tires. My friend pulled off the tires (almost new) on my Bofors towing equipment and used them on his Ford 8 cwt.
Big time different rims though. Bofors rims look like car roms.

That's good news. I was wondering the other day about what was going on with this size, and hoping Wallace had not dropped the project.

Do you know if they are the same weight capacity as well as the same size? I'm away from reference materials right now.
