Interesting: The tread pattern on that Canadian 11:20-20 " Road Lug" pictured, is pretty much the same tread pattern as seen on the Chinese made truck tyres that are currently being sold i.e. 900-16.

I was also thinking they look a lot like the Chinese made 11,00x20 tires I installed on my FAT chassis.
