Thread: 9.00 16 Tyres

THe more ply, the stiffer the tyre, yes

A man arrived at the front door today.



The rim and tyre at the front is an 8.25 16 retread on a 543384 (S2a/early S2B ) rim.



8 ply and 3030 lbs single load rating.

They look good now to get things mobile to try them out.

Finally able to get some pics - not the best though.

They don't look too bad, would have better grip on the road than bar tread and still have a "military look" just right for the 101"!

My old bar treads were just too worn for rego so I had to get tyres for that and to give me time to investigate better wheel/tyre options - but I still haven't got the truck ready yet. I want to get wider wheels and suitable tyres but haven't worked out what I will do yet, so at just over $200 delivered these are a good stop gap - they I will have some reasonable spares wheels/tyres.

I will probably get Performance TX1 Industrial Alloys 16x8 as they already make wheels to fit landies and you can get whatever stud pattern you want when the wheels are made - cost is about $180 per wheel depending on finish.

This opens up tyre options greatly and also makes decent radials an option.

Yes they do do a bar tread in the smalles sizes 6.00 16 for sure because I have them, and I believe also in the larger sizes. However if one intends to do long distances a compromise tyre would be ideal. Triangle, a Chinese brand have a highway lug pattern in 9.00 16 listed in their catalogue.

It is a bit similar to the old All Purpose Lug (Olympic I think) but so far I have not found a Triangle importer who bring it into Australia.

My local tyre service (Cooke's Truck Tyre Service Nowra), suggested that Triangles used to be quite poor quality however that has recently improved and no complaints from customers in the last little while. The 8.25 16 was about $200 last time I asked.

If others are interested, a group order may be possible. I have also recently heard that Beaurepaires are another Triangle importer, so my next stop will be them.

Would anyone else be interested in a Highway lug on a 101 or 109/110 F/C?

Hmm - can you have a think about rewriting this post - I am having a little trouble working out what it says

I assume your dad has a 101 - you live in Austimer and the 101 stays at Unanderra.

If so is this the 101 - I saw it a number of times in the Austimer, Coledale, Bulli area two months ago.

Someone might be interested - works out about the same circ as 9.00x16 - maybe just a tad wider.
