Tyres for 6prd

[Richard Salter]

Rob
were did you get those tyres and Kevin any luck on your photo/tyres in Italy
you all say the mule tyre is closest?perhaps that's an idea?

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.

This vendor in Holland lists the Dyna-Trac ones:

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....

Richard, No reply back I’m afriad, somewhere there is a hay baler or muck spreader sitting in a barn or shed with a set of those tyres on...........you just got to find it !

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.

[tankbarrell]

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

Thanks every one I have the wheels and making the rope tags at moment got wheels from Kevin, I just need tyres i think i have contact with the 8.25 in Germany but as mentioned fork lift tyres! thanks for info about farm tyres i might put add in mag. If you do have contacts for tyre i would be interested.
have also found that a company called Big Tyre have 7.50 x 10 would these fit?
Thanks

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