Good day Jason,
My good C60l came with 9.00x20 tyres from the farmer I got it off. I put 10.00x20 bar treads on it and it looks ok.

If you look at war memorial photos the 10.50x20 bar treads are quite large. I measured two new 10.50x20 WW2 tyres that I have and they are equal in diameter to modern 11.00x20 tyres.

My 1941 Ford had 9.00x20 tyres when I got it and I am putting 12.00x20 bar tread tyres on it as they look nice.

I have 12.00x20 bar treads on my Bedford QLB and it drives nice and gets along with no noticeable loss of power. It has the same rims as the blitz.

I have a lot of 10.5x20 backhoe front tyres with a nice aggressive tread pattern and they are smaller in outside diameter than 9.00x20 normal tyres. They would look silly on the blitz though unfortunately.

Cheers Ken
