I want to go with the military tire on one of my buses. Is Coker the only maker for 16" knobby tires? Or does someone make one that is not so expensive?

I'm pretty sure the ones on Dai's bus are stock 16" Landrover tyres. I don't think they were expensive but I've no idea how easy they are to get in the U.S. though...

Yeh they are, i have a set on order for the 52's new wheels, as its needed for getting through all the floods here. :roll:
The are for I think series 1,2 and 3 landrover possibly if it helps.

They are 600x16 but the clearance is very close i think at the front on a stock end but if you turn it up then that problem will dissapear. That tyre was the only one i can find has the super nobbles on the side, and they are cheap - about $100 each.

Get enough orders and im sure it may become viable to ship to the US if you cant find them.

M-code 101; Mud & Snow tires (and front VW badge painted red) as on the fire trucks
