Sent me a photo of them today...hope it is viewable as I had problems trying to post it.

He is located in Loveland Colorado, wants $100 US each, and can be reached Here

Am happy with my Trelleborgs, so just passing the information along.

Thanks, David

Pity they are on the wrong side of the pond I will be needing some shortly

Hi Andrew,

If you want, I have a mate who regularly brings containers of vehicles and parts out of Wlmington, CA- (used to bring tyres in as a small thing for various people too). He can organise transport in the states to get these tyres to his container too. He is here in Sydney- castle hill to be exact. He's a great bloke- member of the chev club here in Sydney. I've used him for years at very reasonable prices to bring jeep bits in as have others here in sydney who ive recommended John to- and he's known my mum for the last 40+ years through the vintage car movement too, so he's not going to disappear overnight!

If you want, I can pass you on his number and you could give him a call to see if he can help you get them here? Send me a PM and ill pass it on if your interested.

Cheers,
Ian.

Any idea where to buy 9.00 x 13 tubes and tyres in continental Europe? Shipping costs from UK are killer. Prefered pattern on photo.

Jacek,

Search the internet for MRF or Trelleborg dealers. A quick search shows at the Trelleborg tyre are available in the Netherlands, and a further search reveals at least the Trelleborg tyre is also available in Poland.

But, is this meant for your C15? Surely this should have 9.00-16 tyres?

Regards,
Hanno

Yes 9.00- 16 of course

[Jacek Nitkiewicz]

I've checked their offer in Poland and they have only front tyres for agricultural tractors. I will call them on Monday.

Ah yes, in that case, read new 9.00-16 tyres for WD split rim wheels. The British/Canadian 16" split rims are actually larger in diameter than their American counterparts, so any new tyre you buy today (with the exception of the ones mentioned in the first link) will not fit without either turning down the rim or grinding the bead off the tyre. Although some MLU members have been able to fit tyres after properly sandblasting and painting the rims and using ample tyre soap.

The most commonly available 9.00-16 tyres have the NDMS profile:

This is a correct WW2 profile, although not often seen on British/Canadian trucks.

Another option you could look at is the Mitas / Petlas NT-3 tyre:

It comes in 9.00-16, has a suitable profile and is retailed in Poland!

Good luck and let us know what you end up with fitting to your C15.

HTH,
Hanno
