Ah yes, in that case, read
new 9.00-16 tyres for WD split rim wheels. The British/Canadian 16" split rims are actually
larger in diameter than their American counterparts, so any new tyre you buy today (with the exception of the ones mentioned in the first link) will not fit without either turning down the rim or grinding the bead off the tyre. Although some MLU members have been able to fit tyres after properly sandblasting and painting the rims and using ample tyre soap.
The most commonly available 9.00-16 tyres have the NDMS profile:
This is a correct WW2 profile, although not often seen on British/Canadian trucks.
Another option you could look at is the Mitas / Petlas NT-3 tyre:
It comes in 9.00-16, has a suitable profile and is retailed in Poland!
Good luck and let us know what you end up with fitting to your C15.
HTH,
