Wanted: 900 X 13 Tire

[CWO (ret) Gilles Aubé]

We need a 900 X 13 tire for our Bofors 40 mm gun.
This year is the 160 anniversary of our regiment the 2 FD RCA in Montréal.
We borrowed a 40 mm from the Logistic Museum in Montréal.
The gun was just been finish rebuilt by André Gibeault when we secure it on the trailer we blow a tire.
Our presentation is in the middle of next month if someone has a tire to sell we are buying.

I am sure you have already figured out that these tires are almost unobtainable. Your best bet may be to start asking various museums that may have a spare or spares to loan/trade/give.

you need to be looking along the Agricultural lines, there are tyres for 13" rims available for Farm implements that are very similar.

Call 613-374-1130 and ask for Brian. He's my father and sells used tires...he has 1000's. I make no guarantees he has one but after 35 years of selling tires you never know what he has stashed away.
