minnsey Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Thanks @Brigand @REME 245for the food for thought. So on balance Barry, yes I would be interested in a set of 5 of the 10.5 x 20 tyres. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMS Posted May 20, 2021 Author Share Posted May 20, 2021 Thanks for all the feedback, The 10.50-20's will be going ahead, all being well they will be here late in the year or early next year 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In theory, less than £300 each, final price will be announced once they are in the warehouse and all the dreaded fees are paid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMS Posted April 8, 2022 Author Share Posted April 8, 2022 Perfect timing! New 10.50 - 20 and 7.00-18 Track grip style tyres are due in to the UK this week, fingers crossed will be available in a week or so. Once they are ready we will make a few announcements. Also more 900-16 track grip and 7.50-20 bar grip stock arriving 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brigand Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Hello Barry, Excellent news! I remain committed to purchasing at least one set of 10.50x20's (five tyres) and one of 7.00x18's (five tyres). I'd like to discuss how to ship them from your site. Regards, Norman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryH57 Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 (edited) You are doing a great job with tyres for many owners of WW2 era vehicles, that weren't even 40 years old when I joined the MVCG. Now my LR Lwt is nearing 42 years old and like many Lwt owners we could do with some 6.50 x 16 tyres with the typical MOD tread. I forget the tyre designation now. Was it Michelin XZL? It been so long since I have seen any! Sadly we all have to use larger 7.50 x 16 such as Deestone but I am told such larger tyres were NEVER fitted by the British Army. So I'm told these 6.50 x 16 tyres in the exact size and tread pattern are made in the far east but not available here in the UK. So I understand these 6.50 tyres need inner tubes but not being a tyre specialist dont know if they are available or need sourcing with the tyres. Could you possibly help?

Brigand Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Hello Barry, I just wanted to pass on a hearty THANK YOU for making up the batch of 10.50x20 and 7.00x18 tyres. I picked mine up at the logistics hub today and they look great and appear robustly made. The Daimlers will look great with them on.

Ant Bentham Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Hello Barry Do you have any 10.50 x 16 track grips available as need a set for my OY to get it on the road. If not any help in sourcing would be very much appreciated. Kind regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMS Posted May 29, 2023 Author Share Posted May 29, 2023 We have 10.50-16 Track grip style on the way, they have been delayed as we are waiting on some other sizes to be produced and then all ship together. We anticipate them to be here in a couple months all being well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryH57 Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 I can't remember if I saw this post but I would be interested in tyres for a Lwt Land Rover. They should be 9.00 x 16, but I have to use 9.50 x 16 as the others are not available in the UK. Currently I have fitted Deestones but with the proper looking British Army tread, but Im told the British Army never fitted 9.50 x16, so a source for the smaller ones would be great. I think the tread pattern is Michelin XZL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Five Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 The Michelin were later tyres. These are available on the internet: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/304882030814?hash=item46fc6298de:g:C5oAAOSw2Vdd7pG9&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwGbsEAb3xD0gV8pv2kbMtyLGqBWwuAoUdmsHY3BNsKBP5V%2F25dZYoa%2F%2BdF1ITG2J2b7o3muzAAoGXIcZksQFqG4fZW8Z1gWjFi2jCBibRUNugj1tDU2oARFqaKd%2F5R6VoCFNoxdIZNbowYxDVR14Ah%2Ff8yUzRb7wkKzNZnis9jJcvBWSyyfo4vOcmHlov5XqZcAQJtd7GDTQcCPDLL5YBRLLqlppNt5157ooFmqBgslj6UyGSA39Hyishq5AeWkqAg%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR4KhqomNYg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes Withams have them on their online auctions but they will be NOS and quite old by now. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryH57 Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 (edited) Thanks. Of course you are right it is the 6.50 x 16 I need, and I would not trust some 30 year old tyres on my Lwt, even if the inner tubes were new. Shame that 6.50 are no longer available. I thought at one time many Short Wheel Base LRs used them? Edited May 31, 2023 by LarryH57 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DFC1943Fl.Lt. Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Are the 7.00 - 18 still available? If so how much would a set of 4 cost. Many thanks Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryH57 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Out of interest Barry, where are your tyres made? I'm still holding out for some Land Rover Lwt tyres - 6.50 x 16s with a military tread - Goodyear Xtra Grip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxy Posted Thursday at 06:15 PM Share Posted Thursday at 06:15 PM Military tread w.t.f. Goodyear Extra-Grips are a mud tyre and double-up over rocks, XM&S type all season is what you need. Same rolling dia. as 6.50 , launch the boat with new 5.50 rims and the best 205 going (the treadway should be just at body-line). A ex-works Mich. family fit for Classic RR, some Disco and OK for Defender 90" + if you anticipate hard packed snow/ice - you can always fit studs. They will see you out on mileage. https://4x4tyres.co.uk/product/205-80-16-michelin-x-ms-244-104t-tyre/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryH57 Posted Sunday at 08:35 AM Share Posted Sunday at 08:35 AM (edited) Ruxy, I am holding out for some 6.50 x 16 tyres with Xtragrip military tread to keep my Lwt looking like '1980s British Army' as best as I can, to go on my specially prepared spare set of '231601' wheels. I knew one Lwt owner who fitted what he said were tyres used on London black cabs, and they looked awful! There must surely be a market for 6.50 x 16s in the Uk as there are plenty of Lwts that could use them at the right price. Hopefully they still make them somewhere and the inner tubes?

MatchFuzee Posted Sunday at 05:22 PM Share Posted Sunday at 05:22 PM They do appear to be available in countries outside Europe. Have you contacted Goodyear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
