Default Interesting tire

I was searching on google for 9.00-16 tires and came across the image below. I can't find them on the companies website, but it sure would be nice iof these are in the 9.00-16 size, and DOT rated. I have some of the STA 10.50-16 tires, and they are just a little too big for my liking. Now these tires would fit the part for CMPs and the smaller armoured cars like the ferret and Lynx.

These are the 9.00x16" tyres we are putting onto my Lynx. They came from China via India to Queensland in Australia and on to me in Victoria.(Aust)

They are a bit bigger in circumference etc than the 9.25x16" which were on it originally but at the price, they will do me. They came with tube and rust band as well and dropped straight onto the Lynx 6 stud rims.

They are FORRESTER brand.

Regards Rick.

BTW They were only Aust. $1,600.00 for 5 delivered to my door.

Rob, those look like a great find if you can locate the manufacturer. I agree, the STA 10.50-16 look incorrect and oversized on a cmp.

Could it be their ZL 316 pattern??? Sadly I can't find that on their website either.

I don't think it's the ZL316 pattern. Jordan did send me a link to where they have another photo of the tire in question. https://www.alibaba.com/product-deta...518240646.html
They are a dead ringer for the Dunlop trak-grip.

From what I gather, we would be looking at a minimum order of 100 pairs at $100USD per tire, so the initial outlay will be around $20K USD before shipping.

I need to investigate further, and see where this leads.

100 sets, which I read to be the tire, tube and flap. So now you only need 10k to buy in!
