new 9.00-16 tyres for WD split rim wheels

[Hanno Spoelstra]

I am currently teaming up with a few KTR club members here in the Netherlands to source a batch of 9.00-16 tyres for 15-cwt CMP trucks.

ToTec Tyres is one option, apparently they have since sourced another type of tyre which does fit properly.
Also, Grays Automotive Services in the UK stocks Malhotra tyres which according to him and Sjoerd, who fitted them to his Morris C8, fit well on British split rims. John Gray is coming over to Holland in the next few weeks so I can do a test fitting here. WIll report the findings here.

All options available here to date seem to be NDCC "bar grip" pattern only. There is another wavy block pattern available as well, though we will have to see if that fits the split rims without problems.

Does anybody know of any other options available in Western Europe?

Thanks,
Hanno

I have some Petlas NT3 tyres 900 x16 on my Morris and fitted without problems on my rims . I had them from John Gray go brought them over to Tanks in Town meeting last September.

When looking for tyres for my HUP I went to John Grey and purchased 5 new 900 x 16 bar grips. Anyone who has seen my vehicle, might remember that it had 3 CMP rims and 1 Morris rim. There are obvious differences with these rims and getting the old tyres off of the Morris rims proved to be a right pain and in the end I burnt them off, where as, with the CMP rims, the tyres were less of a problem. Putting the 900 x 16 back on wasn't a problem as long as the surfaces were clean and I used lots of tyre lubricant. The tyres were well lubricated before assembly then the wheels were assembled, with new flaps and again well lubricated, then the tyres blown up to 60 PSI. The CMP rims, the tyre bead popped into place at this pressure, with the Morris rims it took a little more pressure but they too popped on.

The pictures below are of both type of rim.

Hi all,

I have bought the Malhotra 9.00 x 16 tyres for my MCC C8 from John Grey 2 years ago and drove close to 2500 miles on them since trough all kinds of terrain and conditions.
No problems whatsoever with these, they do what they are supposed to do and keep inflated.
