David B. Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) I am sorting out some of the 10.50 x 16 tyres I have with a view to matching up a spare pair for the front axle of my K2 and passing on some of the odd tyres I have to someone who has need of them. Wanted. One or two of the Dunlop pattern as illustrated or the Goodyear "Grooved Standard" - (2nd and 3rd pics), in very good condition as fitted to the front axle of British WW2 4x2 trucks - OY.K3 etc. I would be happy to buy these outright if anyone can help me please. For sale or Exchange. I have one Pirelli "Carriload" (pics 5 and 6) in pretty good condition and one Avon "Traction" (7 and 8) with little wear which I do not need and which I can either exchange or sell . If I can find what I need for my K2,I may also have one or two Dunlop "Trak Grips" which I will be able to part with also,but these will be only suitable as spares. If any one can help it would probably be best to PM me or call in on 07860 889524. Many thanks in advance, David. Edited August 21, 2013 by David B.

David B. Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 One other thought . Re-cutting commercial vehicle tyres used to be a common practice. Does anyone have any recent experience of having these WD tyres re-cut and what are the legalities of this ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotBed Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 hi David, I have a pair of Goodyears as in your photos, they came off the late Cyril Groombridges Bedford OY as he managed to get a pair of NOS ones 2 yrs ago, I will not be fitting them to my OY as I am going to keep the Michelin Radials I have on the lorry, you can have the pair for £50. PM me if your interested. regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David B. Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 Hello Graham, I'm so sorry but did not know that Cyril had passed away, I was dealing with him from about the early 70s onwards. I used to call him "Uncle" Cyril. in fact I bought an OY from him in about 1972. Could you let me have a telephone number for you please and I can give you a call and discuss the tyres. All the best, David. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
