Seems to me that I am not the only one who would eventually like to have a new set of RK3s on my rig when the restoration is completed. Apparently, they are still being produced in Malaysia, but can not be exported from there, or imported here, or something like that.
Next option would be Coker Tire, as they could make a mold off a good RK3, (which a couple of guys here do have), and then they could produce new tires from the new mold, but Coker will not make any unless they know there is a market for them.
So, while I am not the guy who will be able to bring this to fruition, (I am kinda hoping a mud shop would take this on) I figured that if enough guys will sign up here to show Coker that there is interest in the old RK3, that they might take it on, and sell them for a reasonable price.
Post up if you are interested, and how many you'd buy, and any comments.
One day I'd like at least 1 full set of 5

For the last year or so we looked at getting the ones made in Malaysia shipped to Australia, then here (contact in Australia), but apparently very difficult, or I am just missing something.
