Where can I get 700 x 16 tyres? and what patterns are available?

Im in Melbourne but can only find overpriced truck tyres to date.

Dunlop Super slippers are dearer than my 255 x 16 KM2 on the Defender.

A few years ago I managed to buy new Dunlop RTM's at $160 a corner (from memory) but I think they are no longer available.

I am not in a hurry but I am after 4 or 5.

I would prefer heavier tread pattern, possibly Jeep service or there was a Michelin block tread I saw a while ago.

If all else fails RTM got us by when that was all there was.

Hi Brad, have a look at this link, dont know much about them just saw them at a trade show in Toowoomba last year. Don't know what they cost either, I didn't enquire at the time I'm a long way from needing tyres. Hope it helps
