Howard Gem Tyre size

[vhgmcbuddy]

Hello,

I own a howard gem series 4 (G41663) and both tyres are rubbing on the body of both wheels; on the lhd side the tyre rubs on the “Jack Shaft Extension Casing” and on the rhd sideo the bolt at the bottom of the “Starting Handle Support Lug”

I guess that the tyres are not the correct size for the machine and I cannot read any detail on the tyres.
Can someone tell the correct size/type and where I can get them from?

Many thanks in anticipation.

Hi there Rob.

The original tyres were Dunlop Grassland 4.00 x 12. but these are no longer available. some of the tyres with deep treads will foul on the machine, you can get some with shallow treads, I have used Trelleborg ones successfully, there may be others.

Hello Rob.
With ref to the last message – I mixed up the tyre manufacturers, it should be vredestein not Trelleborg who make the correct tyres.
