Don’t mean to hijack, but I have a brand new 20” on a rim if anyone is interested? For a contractor but also fits some 6T dumpers

what size is the rubber though Dave? Looks like it might fit the Thwaites, but can't remember if that's 5 or 6 stud ... could well be five

It’s 400/70/20.. not going to be a bargain of the year cause it cost me a a lot to buy from the dealers! Ideally £400 Ono.

Without wishing to go too off topic, but while we are on the tyre dealer subject, I’ve just had great service from Redpath Tyres
www.redpath-tyres.co.uk
After calling many many tyre dealers, they were the only ones who put a bit of effort into actually helping me and sourcing the tyres I wanted, rather than trying to push me into an alternative.
I hope I’m not jumping the gun with a recommendation, as the tyres are due with me on the 3rd, coming direct from Belgium I believe, so although they are not here yet, I have been impressed with the service thus far and as I say they have been the only ones to make an effort

They were just budget tyres Aeolus 26.5R25’s, if you were to buy Bridgestone, Michelin or Goodyear your a lot more, picked up 6 new Goodyear’s from Volvo construction they were loading shovel take offs from memory they were 16,500 and that was a good deal

I use my local tyre company - Hopley tyres, not all about price matching but quality of fitment and not destroying your rims & nuts !
