ivor Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 I have a Humber Heavy Utility Staff car which is in need of new tyres and am aware of the bead problem beteen Brit rims and US rims. A freind of mine runs US marked tyres on his Humber PU without any problems. You can get them on with plenty of tyre lube and over inflate to press them on to start with. I think the main problem is with post war one piece rims as opposed to split or combat rims. I am going to fit some US marked tyres and will let you know how I go on.
