Default OLYMPIC BRAND

Olympic tyres here were making 9.00 X 16's until the early 1970's in the WW2 directional chevron pattern . The Army reserve were using 25 pounders until as late as 1975 . And , it is likely that Olympic were making small batches of tyres for the guns . I have seen a few of these tyres around , at Corowa this year somebody had one , like new , for sale .
