Peter2ltr Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 (edited) Hello Iv got a a Coventry Climax Godiva fire engine trailer that Iv began to restore I believe it’s a ff500 and Iv been looking all through the internet for a manual for it but struggling to find anything and there seems to be very little info on the flat head 4 cylinder that it has. But I found a few interesting threads from this forum so thought I try you guys for abit of help. also does anyone have any 6.50 - 20 tyres or know where I can get that them and they won’t cost the world. 7.50-20 seems far more common but unsure if they would fit kind regards pete Edited December 13, 2018 by Peter2ltr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the rim width? Table from:- https://www.tyres-pneus-online.co.uk/tyre-equivalence-advice.html Rim width Minimum tyre width Ideal tyre width Maximum tyre width 5,0 Inches 155 mm 165 or 175 mm 185 mm 5,5 Inches 165 mm 175 or 185 mm 195 mm 6,0 Inches 175 mm 185 or 195 mm 205 mm 6,5 Inches 185 mm 195 or 205 mm 215 mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter2ltr Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 Thanks For that table👍🏻 I have noticed all the reasonable priced tyres are for agricultural use. One tyre on it is absolutely rotten unfortunately and makes it difficult to move around cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter2ltr Posted December 13, 2018 Author Share Posted December 13, 2018 No but I have now! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8_10 Brass Cleaner Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Pity you cant get any of these. These are pukka Lorry tyres but without the all important CE mark so sold as agricultural. I bought 5 a year or so ago for my trailer. https://www.bigtyres.co.uk/tyres.html?tyre_size=2873&manufacturer=2411 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
