Thread: Proper tyres - Found :0)...................:0(

Another local mob is here Firestone, Avon Veteran, Vintage & Classic Military Tyres | Antique Tyres
Charge like a wounded bull and have exclusivity for some brands.

Dunlop had Road Trek Majors made some time back (in Indonesia), what about contacting them direct and seeing how many would need to be made. Think I paid about $160 each fitted with tubes back in 2008 (7.00 x 16's).

Most people running military Land Rovers would like access to 7.50 x 16 bar treads (NDT's) at a reasonable price.

Best of luck.

Hi Rick,

I sell these if your interested. Next Batch June/July

Let me know if your interested.
600x16 tyres

EDIT: for some reason my thread was deleted!!!! I will post details up soon

They are $189 ex-gst - 600-16 - 6 ply
Will post pics

They are very very close to the AVON Tractions that were used in 1948-1950 on the original Land Rovers

Gromit

That is the same place as in my original.

As for the RTMs, did try Goodyear/Dunlop and they no longer want to know.

Apparently Goodyear bought Dunlop last year or in '14 and while keeping the name, is disposing of remainders and not going back. That is as the story goes


LRO53 -

and the ones you have shown not quite the same, but at $183 as distinct from UKP183 a great advantage. If your Mafr can do one Avon what about the one shown?

Cheers

There are 2 AVON Tractions

Avon Traction
Avon Traction Mileage

Avon Traction was used 1948-1950 and is like the one i supply, Avon Traction Mileage was a tyre option that came out in late series 1's 1957-58 in the UK. The one in your photo is a traction mileage.
