Wanted: Ferret tires

[Peter Duggan]

Lynn,

Yes, the tread pattern on the Trackgrips mimics to a degree the chevron pattern on my current tires, more so than the bar grips. I don't know if Dunlop was the sole manufacturer of these tires.
Thanks, Peter

Personally, I am still hoping that Ryan can come through on these tires: http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=26339

There was a thread here some time ago about new made 9.00 x 16 Dunlop S pattern tires in some place like Malaysia(?). I recall someone attempting to get a sample batch, and also that they may not be certified for use in Canada (despite them being 10 ply run flats). If true, these tires would be the best choice out there for everything from Ferrets to 15 cwts and an alternate to American bar treads that just don't look right on anything Commonwealth.

The other tires out there are those 10.50 x 16's with a beautiful chevron tread but may be a little too tall for your Lynx.

Rob/Bruce,

My first choice would also be new reproductions of 9:00 by 16s, with a chevron tread.

Made in China (almost: of course) - see the link in Rob's posting above (and quoted below).

Who is going to tip off a HMV parts & tyre dealer on the availability of these tyres? I am sure this is best done by someone with the resources to invest in shipping over a couple of hundred tyres.

Bruce,

I agree, Dunlop Trak Grip or any of the other Commonwealth patterns of course look best.

But currently US-pattern NDMS "bar treads" are the only WW2 pattern 9.00-16 tyres available on the market - at least in my part of the world.....
