Heads Up: Statement of Interest: New Production 10.50-16 (R-3) Implement Tires

[Philippe Jeanneau]

Here is the wartime equivalent of the R-3, unless there is more interest on the Dunlop, yet I don't know what the original thread pattern was called or the exact specs of the tire...

[Wayne Henderson]

The tyre on the Chev is from Jim's Indian pattern truck and is fitted (what I have always known them as) with a Sand or Diamond pattern tread. Seen on trucks, C8's as a 13 inch, 6 pounder, towed mortar and some Bofors 40mm AA. I think it was Olympic who made these in certain sizes.

Good luck with your tyre project.

Maybe you could team up with Barry Ring in the UK who is having Trak Grip tyres remade? At least you may learn from him what to do and what not.

Hello Radek, thank you for providing the link... It was great to see other thread patterns for the 10.50-16 tires, though I wish it had more detailed information about each model shown...

On the DOT rating. I was told that any tyres imported into this country for road going purposes, that do not carry a DOT rating, will be confiscated at the border and destroyed by customs.
