rippo Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 hello, i've posted this picture on here before, but as i was doing so last time i noticed the tyres didn't look quite right. They look more like 750's than 900's. The picture is taken in berlin in the late fifties. I know the gentleman on the left, i've asked him but he can't remember, what size they were. He still see's his mate on the right and is going to see if he can shed any light on it. He did say the steering was lighter that a restored one he drove to a show. the oy's had the 750's on but on 20" wheels but i think the front brake drums were differernt. Any idea's?

Brooky Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Perhaps they had as much trouble getting 900x16 tyres as we do!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Farrant Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 and that pic, I'm guessing is about 20 years old. I would say more like 50 years old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goanna Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Some here use the 8.25 X 16's .. these were a common commecrial size on light trucks here ...I've seen em on the smaller 1960's J series Bedfords . They normally have a road tread pattern . Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
