Default Tires

It would be nice if the molds were for a Canadian brand of tire such as Dominion Royal. If I recall Dominion Royal had a plant in Kitchener Ont.

About a year ago, a British specialist tyre dealer, Vintage Tyre Supplies (I think), were canvassing owners of military vehicles for interest in getting a batch of 9.00-13 made. My guess is that they did not reach a minimum production figure, because nothing more was heard. Sounds like they should get in touch with Wallace Wade and pool their orders with him.

Default Five for me!

I would want to see the tread pattern before committing, however, I'm good for five for the C8 (the Alliance tyres on it would then go on the Bofors).

Dave Moore has an F8 and may be interested.

Brad Mills is restoring a Bofors and may also be interested.

Cheers! Mike
