antarmike Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 (edited) I have just been given four 10.5 R 20 Michelin XC tyres and a plan to put them on my spare Eager Beaver, (that should be 11.00 x 20). I am curious to know what they would have been taken off, because I can't say it is a tyre size I have ever seen before.

0 mcspool Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Cheers, not that odd-ball then. Execpt for the fact that 10.50-20 was replaced during WW2 by 11.00-20, long, long before the Michelin XC came on the market. . . H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 antarmike Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 They were taken off a S.U.M.B. because they didn't fit the rims, anyone else know what modern application they might be for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they may also be used on certain Unimogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 antarmike Posted July 19, 2009 Author Share Posted July 19, 2009 At the price i got them for (free, my favourite price) they will do for my spare Eager Beaver, that will get rebuilt into a working machine, but maybe not with total dedication to "authenticity" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
