No worries Dave.

WOW! I knew they (Antique Tyres) were expensive, but that seems like alot- considering the price they are in the US.

If it helps, i have a mate/long time family friend here in sydney who imports containers every month or 2 out of California- usually full of cars/parts and his rates are quite reasonable (same guy who used to import tyres). If you want, message me an email address and i'll forward on his contact details and you can speak to him about it/costs if you do it yourself with his container. I`m sure if Wallace Wade has them at that price, add in transport from wherever in the US to California + container to sydney + to corowa (or i may be able to help if coming from here- not 100% sure yet- he's only 10 minutes from my place), it could work out much cheaper then Antique Tyres or maybe Agtyres.

Cheers,
Ian.

The 9.00-16 ND bar tread tyres that ATT have in stock are 10 ply and are branded 'to fit flat base rims only'. They are loose on a weapons carrier wheel so should be correct for a Blitz. The dealer told me that when their stocks are gone, ATT will not be ordering any more. They don't sell enough to make it worth their while.
If anybody is interested, I may have some at Corowa for $255 each if they don't find a home in the meantime.
There is also an as yet unconfirmed report that Agtyres has changed hands and will no longer be bringing in military pattern tyres.

Sure sounds like the MRF, a correct type of tyre for CMP trucks. Your fellow countrymen driving Blitzes would be wise to take them off your hands.
