Default Truck Tyres 34 x 7 as 12 ply Olympics
Hello All,

It is time to shake this tree again and see if something falls out.

I have a 1940 Chevrolet MCP ex-Australia army 30 CWT truck. It just so happens to that the Chevy has the same size tyres as my 1935 REO Speed Wagon truck came fitted with.

As per the photographs the numbers 34 x 7 and the ply rating is 12. The tyres were made by Olympic.

Has the unit of measurement changed as I cannot find any reference to a 34 x 7 tyre? If it has changed what would the measurement now be referred to as?

The next obvious question is .... are they still made and who sells them?

Enough of all the questions.....

Kind regards
Lionel
