Re: Aus members here?
 

Don't forget to allow the time difference if communicating with anyone here.

Re: Aus members here?
 

Yep, we’re ahead. Your letter will never arrive! :D

Re: Aus members here?
 

Yep

Re: Aus members here?
 

Does the time difference affect the temperature? It's a balmy -12°C here this morning in central Alberta.

Re: Aus members here?

Re: Aus members here?
 

Gunna be 45 C in western Sydney today.

Re: Aus members here?
 

45C is 113F. That's cosy.

Re: Aus members here?
 

Going to be a balmy 31degrees C (that’s 87.8 degrees F) here in Jindabyne, NSW.

Re: Aus members here?
 

We went through Jindabyne on a rally a few years ago. Headed on to Kankoban (sp?) just as night fell and a thunderstorm hit. There was about a bucket full in each drop. That road was as black as a dog's innards with several rock falls along the way. It was one of the best drives we have done.
My wife just reminded me of a group of 4WD hot shots who flew past us annoyed by these old cars on the road. We soon found them all stopped with not enough spare wheels between them after a couple of them hit one of those rock slides. We offered help but pointed out that our wheels wouldn't fit and left laughing. Yeh, that was a GREAT drive.:D:D

Re: Aus members here?
 

well heard back from the tyre shop fella. he has no interest in helping me out bringing tires in any other fells think of anyone else to try? ive seen those tires on AUS 4x4 trucks on the net so somebody must bring them over allready

Re: Aus members here?
 

Yes! and one from the deeeeeep south .....Hobart Tasmania.

Re: Aus members here?
 

I think my name gives away my location

Re: Aus members here?
 

Not really. About 50% think you’re talking about that country next to Germany! :rolleyes:

Re: Aus members here?
 

Hoogah , how is the ole girl going ?

I will be at Ballarat swap feb.

Every time I am going past Dave's town, he is working.

Re: Aus members here?
 

Come on now...........I never thought he was from Poland.:D

Re: Aus members here?
 

Yeh, but where ya wheely from???:D:rolleyes:

Re: Aus members here?
 

Hasn't been out of the shed for a while, pending the resolution of a few issues! I hope to get to the Ballarat Swap too, and would like to see you there in the camper on the pickup??!!
I am also planning to get to Adelaide for the national rally next October. That's my incentive to prioritise the Model A this year! Who knows, Synchro and a few others may come this way via the Great Ocean Road, in which case I would readily backtrack to the other end in order to make that trip with them! :)

Re: Aus members here?
 

There will be a group of about 4 cars heading that way about a week before the rally. We will spend a few days on Kangaroo Island before heading to Murray Bridge. Looking forward to catching up again.

Re: Aus members here?
 

well this went sideways fast haha none of you fellas have any other ideas on these tires?

Re: Aus members here?
 

What are these going on ?

A 4WD or a tractor ?

Re: Aus members here?
 

50s 4x4 truck want it to look the part

Re: Aus members here?
 

This help any? https://www.goodyear.com.my/tyres/studded-sure-grip

Re: Aus members here?
 

yes those are what I'm trying to get they will not ship to Canada. anyone here I talk to with goodyear is less than helpful. they are made in indonisia and malasia thought maybe by chance there was some dealers in AUS that would be importing them there and I could find a backdoor. emails to the people that make them have gone completely in answered. ive seen them online on AUS 4x4 trucks in blogs an things like that so they are there somehow but I can not find the right guy

Re: Aus members here?
 

Do you see what you want here?
http://www.goodyear.com.au/dotCMS/Ty...websegment1=RV
I googled "Goodyear tyre sellers Australia". You might find a dealer prepared to help or Good Year Ausralia might. Let me know (PM if you like) how you go and I'll see if I can help.

Re: Aus members here?
 

they are not in there ether. this quest isn't very much fun .

Re: Aus members here?
 

Will they ship to the US?

Re: Aus members here?
 

honestly I have no idea nobody there ever returned an email. anyone at goodyear here in Canada I talked to could care less.

Re: Aus members here?
 

Maybe you need to take a vacation, go to Maylasia, buy some tires while you're there and bring them back as souvenirs. :):)

i always thought those reminded me of 1950's truck tires.

https://www.intercotire.com/tires/ty...truck_off_road

or some original super swampers

or find ww2 jeep style miitary tread.

IMO the ag looking tires your looking for look too modern for a 50's truck

Re: Aus members here?
 

Same here, I reckon those studded suregrips look the same as what is on the front of my kubota tractor.
