DDDD,

20 x used Michelin tires available 12.5 R20. Do you want me to upload pic?

Yes, I will be interested (quoted mildly) to have my hands on them. Could you please confirm?

Sir, Thanks for all you did. These tyres look very tempting. Could you please confirm if they are still available.
About the 16.5 Rim Size, I am not sure if a 16.5 will have enough clearance to ride on the drums of a UNIMOG. I tried size 16 (9:00.16s are available in Rawalpindi somewhere), an IVECO rim, but could not fit it on. It's way too small.
I have found some 18 rim size tyres in Peshawar, second hand but in good condition, but 18 rims are rare, and if available, extremely heavy as they are usually used on earth moving equipment.
In my opinion, we will be better off with second-hand 11.5. R20's, or if we could have power stearing, 12.5.R20's. Even the stock 10.5.R20's are not bad at all.
Sir, one final request: Sometimes we have tyres with expired shelf-life, usually very cheap. The main problem is with high-speed driving, which at least I am not interested in. These are available in auctions. Once I had an offer of 4 tyres at 18,000 Rupees (brand new with expired shelf-life: never touched the road). I am also looking for them.Could you also please enquire?
Thanks a lot for all the guidance and help
Irfan

Doctor Sb., I 2nd your opinion here, after shelf life rubber turns into a hard metal, actually too hard to grab the desired traction on few of the terrains. If the smuggled stuff has some time left on them & are not used then this could be the best deal.

12.5 is way too huge atleast for BeeMog, and steering her around on the off-road terrain will be an exhausting exercise which is against one of the goals we have in Team UNIMOG i.e. to make our rides comfortable and make them drivable for cross country stuff. I am also not sure what is the impact of bigger tyres on the stability of the vehicle, Experts would explain this better.

@Janj
Very nice set of tyres, are these available in 10.5x20?

[DeeDee]

@Janj.... bro thanks for sharing the stuff.... i liked it but 12.5 still a question mark... for Unimog 416 they are perfect cause she has the power steering and bigger engine... Doc Khatak's mog has the bigger engine and better muscles than DeeDee and Basharat and can try them on :)....

@Basharat... bro we should start body building again at least the shoulder crunches... or whose gonna take the initiative of replacing the danda steering with power steering of 416?... dont look at me i have done the breaks on BeeMog now its you turn to experience the power steering....

@Doc sb... i dont think there will be a difference in 11.5 and 12.5...

ok now the main question reamains. the height of tyre under discussion?.... if it has the same height as our Lasa tyre than i am in for these tyres... if not than i may not take chance increasing the height of my mog as it already has irregular COG....

[Basharatu]

I am for the muscle building plan, already need to eat rosh incase I plan for hunt on mog :). So stage 1 for building muscle is to start off with some heavy n faty n delcious food and let's plan that first on place and the excercises later

Regarding BeeMog's turn, I am up for the test, operation should take place in Lahore, pls check the availability of parts and let's do it.

However, after doing above upgrade I still have the question mark over 12.5X20 hieght, my preferrence is lower profile and personally I like the tyres installed by Doctor Sb.

@Doc Sb. Why do you want to change them? If age is the factor then And what's ur thought on installing the same tyre again in fresh?

I said muscle building not FAT building dude :D.... for FAT building you can be my guest in lahore and we have lots n lots of dishes to build that.

I hope we will hunt the required parts for upgradation of BeeMog... just drive her here and spare at least 2 days (day 1 for offroading and day 2 for spares hunt). also bring @fihsak for suggestion on makeover and lights fitting.... TEAM UNIMOG up for cross country.....

No boss

Dear Janj, and Basharat U, and all other friends, Salam
Sir, I am interested in the 12.5 R20's. What is the expected price? The pictures look great.
I hope my engine can handle the extra girth.
Basharat Sb, I am going to shift over to power steering, shortly.
Hopefully by the end of next month.
Thanks a lot, Sir

Sir, The tyres are good. I bought them brand new. They have never given me any trouble. The size is 9.0R20, and they are made in China, especially for small tractors. Light Weight. Very effective, but small in size. So.......
I mean just for the looks.
These tyres are probably also available in 10.5R20, but definitely in 9.5R20, in Taxilla
Dee Dee's mog's tyres look beautiful. So, anything of Mog's design will do.

WOW, that's great news. Which power box would U be using?

DD, am getting back to U on the query above!

[DeeDee]

@Ranger.... thats great sir... best of luck with the alteration.... remember to keep mogs original turning radious.... most of LCs and Denfenders dont have that much turn radious than our mogs...

same question "which power box you intend to mount?" or if not decided yet than keep us posted on step by step steering upgradation process....

@Basharatu... ya bro you should
thx

[Ranger_ofthe_North]

Salam Basharat Sb and Dee Dee
Not yet decided on the steering. Good thing is that 14B comes with a beautiful and very powerful hydraulic pump, gear driven. So, I do not need a belt driven pump. The original power steering for a small unimog is available (at least was, some time ago !) in Rawalpindi. It had some other equipment with it, was almost brand new (used only once for demo purposes by Shahnawaz Ltd.), including snow moving blade and some other hydraulic stuff. Price was around Rs. 70,000/= for the whole stuff. I could not afford it.
I may settle for the power steering of the larger 6-cylinder mog. The arm needs to be re-contoured but that hopefully can be managed. LC or Coaster box would not do. It is much smaller. Will let you know once get one that fits.
See you around
