9.00-16 U.S. versus British wheels

[Hanno Spoelstra]

Mike,

Thanks for your research and pictures. For me it puts an end to the debate on why these tyres & rims don't mix & match: it isn't so much a case of the 0° versus 5° degree bead angles, but the considerable difference in bead diameter.

You'll also notice that Ferret T24s have a rim type designation on the tyre wall, doesn't it say something like "for H section rims" or something like it ?

See my page on 9.00-16 tyres for your pictures of a R.F.H.S.2 tyre. The side is clearly marked "TO FIT 6.50 H RIMS ONLY".

Regards,
Hanno
