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?
