The tyre size is unusual being 9.25 x 16 run-flats.

This Lynx had only 4,206 or maybe 8 miles showing on the old speedo but the tyres were well worn.

The warning plate on each wheel was still clear.

I purchased new 9.00 x 16 tyres tubes and rust bands from Queensland ($1,600 for five including freight to the door.) These are not bar treads but lugs which are good enough for me.
