NEW 7.50-20 tire production update for USA Buyers

Post by R.E.Co. » Sun Feb 07, 2021 5:37 am

**7.50-20 tire production update for USA Buyers**
The Deestone brand tires proved a challenge to work with the distributor so I have decided to team up with a tire manufacturer to have tires made with an original design! We are moving forward with the project at full steam!!!

We are in the mold construction phase. The sidewalls for our tires will be clean with small discreet logo and as period correct as possible. Besides the physical look, our tires will be made better than the new alternatives by using composite rubber material similar to original used, making the rubber hold up to highway wear for longer life. My tires will also be warrantied so you can be confident in the quality I stand behind. Our tires are model off of original WWII tread design with the same thickenss and depth in 14 ply.

Also in process will be NEW made 7.50-20 6 bolt tubeless rims to go with my tubeless tires. These rims are modeled off the original lock ring style rim but allowable for dismount and mounting on a standard tire machine. They will provide safety, longevity, and easy tire changing while still retaining the same bolt hole and lug placement look.

Other bonus accessories in the works! I'll have more information to follow.

For those looking for tires that are hard to find or not being made, please contact me and we can see about producing them. I have been approached to make 14-24 heavy truck tires in NDT, it is a possibility but will need to be discussed the someone who owns a M25 or M26 tank hauler.

What kind of price are we looking at for the tires?

How about these rims? Please tell us more. Pictures? Price?

I prefer to use my original rims - will the 750X20 work with regular tubes?

I think there would be a lot of half-ton Dodge WC guys that may be interested in 7.50 x 16 chevron treaded tires as seen in this vintage photo:

The tubeless tires I am making will be 100% compatible with tubes. I will also offer tubes and flaps for guys who want to use their own rims.

7.50-16 tires are a possibility if the 7.50-20 tires sell well. I should have pictures over the next few months.

Price to be determined but they will be under $200 each.

I have a strong interest in tires with an E-load rating 10 ply to use on a 1947 Dodge WF-31 5 hole dual rear wheel split ring 5.5 inch wide rims. I would like to use the original 2 yard PTO dumper so load rating is key. Any comments or questions or opinions are welcome. I am an old pro (62 years old ) to restorations but new to anything from this era. Oldest vehicles i own are from the 1970s -both cars and 2 stroke motorcycles. This Dodge is complete but needs a full restoraion- all new fuel tank, glass, tires, rings for rims and every nut and bolt checked, all fluids and rubber parts. It has not been started in 30 years but is free turning with front hand crank. Seat is original black leather not man made material which I prefer. I wish to use this truck to haul many yards of stone in Castine, Maine.

I have a 1941 G-506 that needs a set. I think it should need them just as the restoration is commencing. Chevron pattern or Standard, I'm good with either one.

Sorry to say the project took the back seat due to incompetent manufacturers. I waited over four months to find out the manufacturer did absolutely nothing contrary to what I was being told by them. I am producing Halftrack and Cletrac tracks at this time. May be interested producing tires in the future but unfortunately not in near future.
