Default Supply Line

Dave,

The latest issue of Supply Line, a publication of the MVPA, lists a few guys that sell tires.

RAPCO in Bowie, TX claims to have Denman tires ( Mexico ) 9.00 x 16 NDT and inner tubes.

Also Wallace W. Wade Specialty Tires in Dallas, TX has 900 x x16/8 - made in USA ( McCreary ).

Probably not a match, but that just means that you have to get 4.

Default Is it the tread pattern or the size?

Not clear from your post is it the size or the tread pattern that you can't find. I believe that the tires you are looking at are commonly considered to be a NATO version of the US non-dirrectional tire. They were groved to give them better snow and pavement traction. They are advertised from time to time in Supply Line I would check with some of the guys who were importing NATO vehilces from Norway a few years ago.

General question what current or recent military vehicle uses a 600x19 inch tire?
