Hi all
I'm trying to source metric tyres for Jantars. Many singles and quite
a few twins were originally fitted with 350 x 135 metric tyres which
were nigh on impossible or highly expensive to source in Australia.
Due to poor supply, most of us fitted imperial 5.00 x 5 tyres which
are a near equivalent. It appears, however, the 5.00 x 5's are
slightly wider which results in chafing in some undercarriage systems
including Jantars and Piks.
There is a relatively new agent in Australia for Mitas (Czech) tyres
which appear to be a major source in Europe. There is quite a lead
time to getting these tyres into Australia so there may be value in a
bulk order - is anyone experiencing a problem with 5.00 x 5's and
interested in the original tyre size?
