Looks like Coker has started a run 900x16"

I am yet to receive a picture of the tread pattern, but I have been informed that they are similar to NDT tyres but with sipes? in the bars.

This sounds like the description of the tread pattern that first appeared in Australia on Unimogs, called the "NATO; or "Mog" pattern. These have been produced in this pattern in 9.00-16, 11.00-20 and 12.00-20 and made by Dunlop, Michelin and Alliance for a variety of equipment. The pattern is actually a WW2 German design. Alliance have factories in USA and Israel, and if this is the tread that Coker have, then I suspect that it would be an Alliance tyre. Keith has a pic of a Fordson WOT2 in the Bandiana Museum wearing Alliance 9.00-16's (from a M119 Hamel 105mm gun, no less!), which suggests that they may fit "British" rims. Keith, could you share the pic?
