New C8 (& Tyres)

[Mike K]

It is looking excellent Murray.That makes 3 restored C8's here , gee, they are becoming very common nowadays !

I think you'll find the tyres are the Australian Olympic brand rather than Dunlop.

Some of the older agricultural towed devices use that tyre size, but with the advent of larger 'corporation' owned farms here, and the large scale farming methods ,much of that smaller farm machinery is now obsolete. Around here they all seem to go for the large round roll up type hay bales.

Yes , you have to pester the tyre people for the odd sizes like 900-13. I found the MRF guy at Agtyres (Tony I think) in Moree NSW, was fantastic , he bent over backwards to help . He even had a basic knowledge of Blitz's and knew of the Chev /Ford differences too .

Happy motoring in your C8
