Looking for at least 4 good standard military jeep tires, 600-16 NDT, Seattle WA Area.
Including the tubes would be nice!
If you know a good Address in that region that sells them (new or used) I would be happy too. Please let me know.
Thanks,
Jos

Re: WTB 600-16 NDT Tires
JOS,
You can get tires from Summit Racing on line and they will ship them to Seattle for you. I recently bought five Firestone (reproductions - coker mfg) from them. Tires, tubes and flaps. I had no issues mounting them on the combat rims I had restored. The flaps seemed expensive, but they sure worked well and had offset stem holes and the tubes had offset stem holes as well.

Frank,
Thanks for your advice. I looked at them. I was advised to use Goodyear for my Willys as Goodyear was used by Willys and Firestone by Ford. I'm a sort of a rookie, just repeat what other people say.
Ron advised me to go to Lucas Classic Tyres, so I think I go for that option, if nobody has some used ones in the Seattle area he wants to sell.
Regards,
Jos

alphado, depends on how correct you want to be.alphado wrote: ↑Thu Sep 14, 2017 4:40 amThese are "correct" tires for a 1943 MB?

They are NDT's and the correct size, but these Goodyears below are more accurate for the MB. Certainly more expensive, but a great looking tire and like Jos said Goodyear is what Willys used for that jeep. Details like the sidewall markings and the sharp points on the tread...

Beers,
Exactly what I understood too. By the way: LucasClassicTyres sells that specific tire as well:
http://www.lucasclassictires.com/600-16 ... -LP1P3.htm
Another difference is the PLY rate. It's 4 vs. 6 PLY, does that matter?
Thanks,
Jos
