Very nice.....
Hi Robert
Yes they do look nice and fill out the fender well nicely. ....and Niels..... no the tires do not rub and ride nicely at about 30/35 psi. Robert..... you are lucky to have the later gas tank with the longer fill neck.... on the early cab 11 the vertical short filler neck is absolutely impossible to fill using a standard gas station pump.... on mine I have to use the "horsecock and funnel" or the section of radiator hose I carry just for that purpose. Cheers

I have used a number of these tires on various projects. While it is nice to have something different than the US bartread, the downside is two-fold.
1) The size is slightly "baloonish". I sure wish they could make these in 9.00-16. 2) Secondly, and this may be an important one to some people: Despite early claims, these tires do not appear to be DOT certified. I remember the days when I did not like the look of the US bartread tires on CMPs. Back then, it was reasonably easy for me to find ferret Dunlop trak-grip tires. But those days are gone, and I am currently satisfied with either the bar tread or these. I sure wish Ryan had managed to get in those Chinese trak-grip knock-offs we had discussed a year or so ago.

I do agree with Rob L on this one; it is too bad they did not opt for the correct 9.00-16 in this profile.
I am sure they would have been more popular and sold way better to more collectors.
