Five years down the road and we still don't have a tire that comes even close to the 10.50-16 in size or style...
![]() 10.50-16 TIRES- TYRES-TIRES..@#$!@ As I embark again on this venture, I still have the greatest obstacle to the project, proper sized tires with the correct design... I won't say much more than the fact that I have at least two companies willing to listen, yet the first question always is: HOW MANY CAN YOU BUY/HOW MANY DO YOU WANT TO BUY??? And my question to this group and anyone with a larger than a 3/4 ton truck, is it worth the $$$ headache and aggravation? Can we get a petition/commitment going? I'm not asking for funds, but only a firm commitment to purchase down the road... Cost will not be any more than the current 10.50-16 tires available... Barry ring was able to produce the 9.50-16 and 10.50-16 Chevron design, but unfortunately not "correct pattern" for us... I really wished he would have come up with something close in design to what we need after all this time... Not faulting him, his project, period... As for the actual process, you can produce a tire from scratch, or find a company with the approximate right size (35" tall) casing... (I have) and I can finish the tire with a strip tread of your choice... This way is cheaper than going about it with a clamshell mold from scratch... I'm attaching three modern designs, close to what was available in the 40's... Unfortunately these are all 20" tires, and we need them for 16" rims... Anyway, gentlemen, can you please help with clear opinions/commitment or at least chose a tire design? Thank you. 555949338_1464627978150277_8363015723222780827_n.jpg BALD EAGLE TRUCK TIRE.jpg BARKLEY BL 806.jpg KAMA 304 U-4 TIRE.jpg Last edited by Philippe Jeanneau; 22-12-25 at 17:07. |
