Heads Up: 10.50-16 directional tyres

Here is some information about the Czech made MITAS tires I spoke about earlier....
You can go directly to their cataloge and find the info on page 24 & 25 out of 44. This link will take your to their pdf catalog download which has the entire agricultural line of tires.

I first found this type of tire when I saw the Bofors Lorry at the Firepower, Artillery Museum at Woolwich near London. Theirs was marked 'Barum' however.

I have had two of these tires on my truck for about two years now. I've had my C30 up to speeds of 55 mph but I do normally cruise at 30-35 mph.

They are however officially rated for speeds of 40Km/h or about 25 mhp. They are 14 ply rated for 2800 Kgr. at 75 psi. I find 75 to be awful high as I normally run them at 45 psi and can see that they are laying flat across about 90% of the tread when being driven on the road.

I have the name of the North Carolina dealership who got me my two for only $75@. I have asked him for three more. Anyone else?
