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!

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.

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

Synchro909 · 01-14-2018, 03:42 PM

Do you see what you want here?

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.

Will they ship to the US?

Beater · 01-15-2018, 01:56 PM

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

katy · 01-17-2018, 09:42 AM

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

pooch · 01-17-2018, 12:01 PM

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