But you also need....
.... to get MOT certification for public road use. So 20 odds tires have to be donated to the authorities for destructive testing...... and if you are lucky you may get MOT certified the first time...if lucky.
I believe Wallace Wade from Texas was working of reprocucing 18 Gamma goat tires but could not finds anything about it on there web site. Cheers

Thanks folks,
I wonder if a short/mid-term solution for my vehicle in particular is to modify it to accept civillian wheels that may have a more available tyre size? Cheers, Matt

I'm assuming the $30K figure includes certification, however I didn't enquire any further. Also the cost would vary for different tyres, and I'm told it's been done for quite a range of sizes, from motor cycle tyres to these Futurliner whitewalls, which I'm told cost $100K to develop. Not much of a market as there were only 12 Futurliners built, and only about 9 survivors known. Apparently this owner ordered only 20 tyres, which makes them rather expensive at $5K each! However it's peanuts when you consider these vehicles have fetched up to $4 million at auction. Same rationale applies for MVs, which might justify an extra $100 each for WD pattern 10.50 x 20 chevrons.
