Anyone know where I might be able to get these tyres?
16 knobbly biscuits

Our local Michelin dealer just had a dumb look on his face,
If I had asked for a 4 grand set of 20 inch sickness he would have asked me around for tea!!!!

try http://www.antiquetyres.com.au/vintagetruck.html they're based down south, but I found them very reasonable, and tyres are fantastic, I ended up getting the old army jeep tyres, and cannot fault them, well they're noisy, but nothing worse than the original tyres.

yes, but you won't be getting stuck anywhere.... I've literally dug mine down to the axels in sand, only to drive straight back out again, completely baffling some land bruiser tools laughing at me. :)

where them with pride!!

Is why I call mine the "Kremlin Gremlin"

Some started calling me Petrovski etc, So I got a T shirt printed up.

"Peter The Great
Czar of Mudflatski"

on the front

Also had a hammer and sickle on the back.

Won't be long and you will be required convoy member, not just one more to make up the numbers.

My most common phone call now is ... "hey Ed;- we're going to ... ... ... ... bring the Lada" ...
