I am also going through the tire dilemma on the museum's Lynx. If you can find Ferret tires, they would be the best. You have to skive a fair bit off the inside of the tire, but being that they are super heavy runflats, cutting through the beads cords will not effect the tire. I did it on a much heavier CMP (11,000 lb KL) and A-framed it from Moose Jaw to Winnipeg a couple times without issue.
The US non directionals are a pretty good second choice. The STA 10.50-16s may give it a bit of a dune buggy look. Our Lynx is currently on LSVW Michelen tires, which also have that dune buggy look.
I recently changed the museum's Dodge M37 over to the Michelen 8.26-16 Michelin radial as used on the G-wagons. They look great, but they do end up measuring slightly smaller in diameter and width. Of course, they lack the Chevron look.
