Bear in mind the legal towing limits for unbraked trailers in the UK.

Here are some shots of a 6 pdr tire, the bomb cart tire, and a mule tire. You can see the size differences, although they are exaggerated a little by the angles the tires are sitting. The forklift tires fall somewhere closer to the mule tires.

What ever did happen to that deal Kevin , as you were looking into getting some of those tires. Did the guy never want to sell them? They were in Greece,
maybe a more local guy on the Forum Knows the place and can explain the fate of them?
