thedawnpatrol Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 No, this is not a 'Wanted 900 x 16 Trackgrip's..........................' Hens Teeth spring to mind ! My Question is this, on my 1940 MCC CS8 the rear are Goodyear 'Bannana' pattern that I believe predate the Dunlop Trackgrip ? the Goodyear's have 'For British wheels' on them. then on the front, Dunlop Trackgrip. So, is there an official account of when these two types were supplied, or more interestingly the combinations of the front and back. I believe that as a 4x2 there was no point in putting heavy grip on the front, and in some cases we see the more road pattern tread. one of the Trackgrips I have is dated January 1940, and also interestingly has an arrow of direction on, again this is something that we should be aware of when fitting. anyway, I just thought I would perhaps make these points, and would be interested to know what anyone else knows.

thedawnpatrol Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 Sorry just noticed for the observant of you that I have swapped the original rear Banana pattern for Track grips as I was intending to put Track grips all round, but then this question cropped up !

RAFMT Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 In the RAF it was official policy to put "road" tyres on to front wheels of 4x2 vehicles, unless the vehicle was never intended to run off road, in which case it was standard tyres all round.
