Tonygos Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 Not one answer to this, you would have thought someone here (military site) would know something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I think you will find they are agricultural machinery tyres. Some views of the sidewall markings may reveal more though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tread on the tyres you've linked to definitely has each alternating row of blocks off-set slightly from its neighbouring row... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gareth dawe Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 They look like the type of balloon tyres fitted to farm/tractor trailers in the 80s to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
