1974 Bedford TK. Tyre help!

There are many TK’s on the rally scene so they must get tyres from somewhere?

Nearly all on 16 or 20s Pete.

The 8.25x17 tyres went on the KEL 10 ton gross EJN3BCO which ran on 8 stud wheels. IIRC the smaller 7.5t KDL (EJM3BCO) was on 6 stud 7.50x16 and the larger ELR4CCO 12 ton KG was on 8.25x20

(We ran a fleet of various size TKs)

It looks quite small going by the picture, would that have been downrated to 7.5 from 10?

ten year tyre comes into effect 1st Feb 2021, as per RHA and dvsa

I have just collected 3 tyres in excellent condition. Possible wont ever find anymore so will have to seriously think about a bigger solution long term but these tyres are a good short term solution. Once again, thanks for your help.
