Wayne,

When I was in 11 Field Regiment in the 60's the 25 pounders had 9.00x16 with NDT tyres.

Re Tyres.

Hi Lang,
My gun and most others I've seen here and overseas were also fitted with 900 x16 tyres but the first guns were fitted with 8.25 tyres. The firing platform width was designed for 8.25 tyres that's why the 900 x16 hang over the edge slightly.
