Re: Picking up Glenn\'s Work - R1W Tires Grand L\'s
Ok, there is a little trouble with getting tires from Michellin. A deptartment of transportation in North America bought out the entire years worth of production in the 11x16 radial XM27.
In Canada the XM 108's are not listed as available from most of the sellers.
I found 4 11x16's at a tire reseller who is off the system but they have theirs priced to sell to the government.
The story on the DOT tires is they bought 2wd backhoes and spec'd radial tires, the only radial available for the fronts is the Michellin drive tire so there are all these 2wd backhoses with drive tires rolling around. Governments are so smart sometimes.
