When 4 Canadian Mechamized Brigade Group received the 10 Ton MAN trucks in Germany in the late 1980's they had the Michelin unidirectional tires with a tread pattern similar to those found on the LAVs. We had the same tires on our 5 Tonners in Kuwait post Gulf War. Does anyone know of an aftermarket manufacturer that makes these tires?

The tread pattern is the same as the earlier narrower LAV as in the first set of photos. I 'll compare diameters, but I believe the truck tires have a larger diameter than the LAV.
