Re: Tires
Are you looking for a specific brand of non-directional or just any type of tire in 9.00 x 16?

Re: Tires
I can't speak firsthand as iv always run non-directionalals but I would think the STA Super Lug 8 Ply 900-16 would be a smoother ride than the military tires.
Also this link has some good info where you might be able to track down some good used older model tires https://garbee.net/~cabell/photos5.htm
Hope this helps a little.

Re: Tires
Go for Michelin 255/100R16 radials. Expensive but well worth it! These are the NATO type tyre pattern.

Re: Tires
HI Goran,
try www.vrakking-tires.com. H. Vrakking B.V in The Netherlands have Michelin 9.00 x 16 radials and 255/100-R16 radials ex stock. I believe they have some Nato surplus also.
Cheers
Ian

Re: Tires
Hi Goran,
I cannot comment on the CAMAC tires, I have no experience with them.

Re: Tires
Those CAMAC tires remind me of the european style that you would see on some antique farm tractors over here in the states. Never had any but I believe they were more noticeable when they would sit a long time and get flat spots...but hey who know a tractor never rode that good anyway.
While we are on the tire topic I see goodyear has some all weather R-3 in 9.50 x 16. Would these fit wc-51 wheels for example? Just curious.
And yeah KAE let's see that truck! Maybe a link to a photo album would work?

Re: Tires
Dear Kaegi,
many many thanks, you saved me a lot of nerves!
As I was in a big hurry (all tires were on a discount) while I was ordering, I pressed a wrong button and ordered wrong tires.
Now, everything is solved with shop and 9.00-16 are ordered!
Thanks once again, you saved me a money for return shipping!
