Ex Military off road truck tyres

There is a guy in Brisbane advertising on Gumtree selling the Olympic Steel Treks in 7.50 16.

I bought two sets of 5 at $75 a tyre. Most are like brand new. They have gone onto my series 3 truck cab that I am restoring and the other set went to a mate for his 88".

4WD / LIGHT TRUCK OLYMPIC 7.50R 16 32" STEEL BELT LIGHT TRUCK TYRE | Other Automotive | Gumtree Australia Logan Area - Mount Warren Park | 1038320790

I see there is another advert on Gumtree from Cairns

750/16 light truck ex army tyres | Wheels, Tyres & Rims | Gumtree Australia Cairns City - Cairns 4870 | 1038942413

Thanks

Inspiration? The search button? A cure for male pattern baldness? That half a kebab that fell down the back of your couch last night?

Stop me when I get the answer right. :D

Nope, there's plenty more meaningless and inane crap where that lot came from!

Could it be.....anti-matter in your freezer compartment? Lord Lucan? Gold halfway along a rainbow? The answer to life, the universe and everything? The part of your fridge that beeps when you leave it open?

Or maybe, just maybe, you'd be mad enough to rather bizarrely want tyres???!

I knew I'd get there in the end. :D

It seems that there's a few ex-military places in the UK selling them, along with sellers on eBay UK, not a fat lot visible this side of the world though.
