Hi,
I have a set of four Continental MPT81 tyres that have no wear at all.
They are 315/55/R16 with a Mud/Snow pattern and are on some strange 6 stud
rims.
I have them on Ebay The No is 4500686846

Cheers

Tony.

Probably not, the mounting face is offset right to the outside of the wheel.
They look like they might be off a forklift or some such vehicle.

Cheers,

Tony.

Nah, they're not 101. Not by a long stretch. And with those wierd low
profile tyres on I'd say dump truck, forklift, or some specialised
vehicle, like a roadsweeper or something.

They'd make a 101 look like it was on roller skates....

Hi,
If they dont sell, how would I be fixed grinding out the welds that hold
the centres in and having some Land Rover centres welded in?
Any views on this? would it be: legal, safe, lunacy etc?

Cheers,

Tony.

legal, probably, safe, maybe... depends on the wheels and how you go about
it. They'd have to be both concentric and straight, which would be tricky
without making a jig first.


I't be better to remove the tyres and fit 'em to land rover rims.

Good question, it seemed like a good idea at the time when I bought
them..........

High speed driving on a golf course?

Would they make reasonable sand tyres?

Just a couple of thoughts.

Just been browsing that, there's a bit about specs for filling tyres
with water or antifreeze.

Why would anyone want to do this?

Ballast to keep them on the ground, my tractor has about 700ltres
added to the front for when I pick things up at the back. It is also
added just for extra traction.

and the antifreeze is so that it doesn't freeze into a solid lump... which
has "interesting" effects, as you can imagine.

I gave up using the antifreeze, I think it used to cost 60 quid a tyre
and you'd lose the lot if it blew. I move on to calcium chloride but
if that leaks (and with 70% fill a slow puncture only became apparent
if parked with hole at the top) the inner tube becomes corroded to the
rim. Since 82 I just use water and have a few days off driving if the
weather gets severe. Even so if I park it up for a few months, as is
becoming increasingly normal in my trade, the tyre tales a "set" and
it requires a good few days work for the ovality to lessen.
