Dunlop RK3 (roadtrak major) 15"? (1 Viewer)

[treerootCO]

Just wanted to revisit this to see if anyone found this in a 15" rim. I think it would be the perfect tire for the LVs.

Dunlop Japan is making the Roadtrak Major only in 16". Think there is a Chinese or Malaysian maker using the mold also. Sorry, no linky and no idea on a 15", if I run across it I'll post up.

Sometimes it's nice to have 16" wheels.

We should all request more information on the RK3 Roadtrak Major (both 15" and 16" sizes)

Run the mud and snow it looks like it comes in a 15.

I like this one but also a 16, fortunately I've got 16" split rims.

Know anyone in South Africa? 700-15 at the Bottom of This Dunlop Page

 

[treerootCO]

I don't but maybe we have some Mud members in that area

according to the literature the stock tire size is a 7.00-15 (31.69x8.46x15 approx)

this site calls it the ST-12

Dunlop/Goodyear:

"Per the Dunlop Marketing Department, this is a bias light truck tire and would be considered a vintage tire because of the size."

So being "vintage" it wouldn't have to be DOT and can be imported?
Wishful Thinking.

When I was up there cruiserparts.net had some 750-16's on that late model 40 he had on Ebay recently. I don't remember the maker, they were definately Chinese though, .

something for the wall of the garage.

Treeroot - maybe work on Universal Tire to import the RK3. Looks like they just added the FJ25/Rover tire to their line.

Had to update my link from a year ago.

 

[Land Cruiser Junky]

just source some 16" split rims and be done with it

Or if you don't like split rims find yourself some old 16" Chevy's.
