History of 10.50-16 tyres

[mlombard]

Hi

This is interesting considering we were all feed the line over the years that the Allies won because they standardised everything and the Axis lost because they could stop inventing and re-inventing things. And yet here we are with two tyres which on the surface would seem too close to one another i.e 9.00 and 9.25 to bother with, yet they did it and produced both. Can't imagine in the heat of battle and looking for a spare tyre I'd have been too choosie!, not like I'm going to be stopped for a roadworthy as I'm rushing forward from El Amein or worst back from Tobruk!!
