RMS Posted April 5, 2020 Author Share Posted April 5, 2020 (edited) Hi Everybody, Finally some good news! production is happening as i type. So hopefully some tyres will be with us soon. To save me sending a million messages 🙂 1, they should be in the UK in the next couple months 2, final price not known yet as we still have shipping, customs etc, as soon as e know i will update. Bulkk orders will be discounted 3, they are 16" so will be a tight fit on British Rims, i will fit one as soon as they arrive.

philipj Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 (edited) Hello Barry, Beautiful work... What are the dimensions of your new tire please? Height, width and sidewall? Thank you... Edited April 5, 2020 by philipj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcspool Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Good news indeed, Barry! I see they have speed rating F, which means 80 km/h or 50 mph, this is much more useful than many tyres which are implement rated. Keep us posted when they are available for ordering.

Slurr Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Hi Barry Ring, Have you considered seeing about getting 7.00x18 Daimler Dingo Tyres made using your source? There are MANY Dingo owners including myself who would buy a few sets each. Cheers, David Burr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rupert condick Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Hi I am glad i found this, I am a 10'50 x 16 type, i would like to comment that I fitted Wallace Wade 10.50x16 (chevron) to cmp rims OK, I get about 1000 miles per 1 mm, out of them, so they should last about 12,000 miles.trouble being the chevron tread for use on the road, I do not know what track grips would be like, I know bar treads are a bit rough, i would be looking for sand tyres, or road type. regs Rupert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcspool Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) Rupert, if you’re looking for 10.50-16 tyres, BKT make them in a road type pattern. Very useful speed and load rating, these are not low speed implement tyres. Haven’t found a distributor for them yet, tough https://www.bkt-tires.com/ww/en/d-405 Edited October 23, 2020 by mcspool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rupert condick Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Hi mcspool, cheers for the info, I did try e-mailing Whitedell eng ltd, but no reply, I will not need any for a bit, as these purposed age limit to be placed on tyres here ( ten years) , It could be fun. regs Rupert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REME 245 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I thought there was a proposed excemption for historic vehicles from the 10 year rule but I have not kept up to date on this regulation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consultation outcome Government response to the consultation to ban tyres aged 10 years or older Updated 15 July 2020. We will grant an exemption to 2 vehicle groups. Firstly, to those vehicles that are currently exempt from tyre roadworthiness regulations (including agricultural tractors that travel at low speeds) to remain consistent with existing legislation. Secondly, to those historic vehicles that are currently exempt from roadworthiness testing, providing they are not used commercially. We recognise that historic vehicles are usually well-maintained, are used infrequently and do not travel at high speeds but it is important to balance the granting of any exemptions with the safety of all road users. https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/banning-tyres-aged-10-years-and-older/outcome/government-response-to-the-consultation-to-ban-tyres-aged-10-years-or-older Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that the exemption for historic vehicles applies to those exempt an MOT not to the vehicle tax class. That would be pre 1960 not used commercially. Lets see how many later trucks are advertised as exempt... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMS Posted November 17, 2020 Author Share Posted November 17, 2020 Hi all, just a quick note to day that we are down to the last few sets of the new 900-16's if your thinking of getting some, don't leave it too late. The next batch will be a year or so down the line as we are making dingo tyres next, then 10.50-16. Barry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
