N0, I think the mule tires are the farthest from the original size. They are the non-directional US tread shown in my photos. The forklift tires that others talked about are only slightly wider but not much bigger. The mule tires are available in the USA from a number of sources. The best price for them that I have found is Summit racing who offer free shipping in the US.
The Dybatrac tires from the M1A bomb carts are closer, but not highway rated. They were made by Specialty Tires of America (I believe the mule tires are as well) and may also be available from Summit or Coker tire. All on the wrong side of the pond for the UK I'm afraid. |

https://www.vrakking-tires.com/thru-...trac-tyre.html No price or indication if they are in stock, but may be worth an email or phone call. I have no experience with that vendor, nor do I receive any commission from them....unfortunately.... Owen.

8.25-10 was a common size on small agricultural trailers, no doubt due to post war availability of 6 pdr hub assemblies to make them out of! Tyres have been out of production for some time but they do turn up occasionally.

Richard, might be worth running an add in tractor weekly or agricultural monthly in the wanted section asking for wheels with tabs on, with a pic of what you need. I got a lead to a set I will pursue for you.

Some trailer wheels are identical, they just lack the rope tags.

7.50-10 will fit fine but are a little small on the outside diameter.
