Am I really wasting my time trying to make this happen as I get into another project? Yes, there will be another 39 Chev. with the right wheel base this time...

Hello Philippe,

I commend you for trying to find tyres in the exact size and pattern. It can be done by having tyres made to your specification. Barry Ring of Empire Tyres has taken up the gauntlet and is offering various sizes in WW2 patterns to the collectors market. Maybe you can ask him about the viability of your quest?

Otherwise, I would think a BKT AW702 tyre in 10.50-16 size is an acceptable sand type pattern.
