Army sales where 8 th and 9 th of october 2008. There were 648 items in the auction list. Cars, trucks, vans, ATV:s, machines, tires, parts, ect. I buy 25 tyres.
I take few pictures. Very good GAZ 66, year model 1989.
I allready sold four tires, and another four is going to Sisu A-45. Not to my truck, but similar. Now he has 19.5/54-20 Super Swamber Boggers on Sisu. :shock:
Next year army sales I try buy Kraz 1300x530-533 tires. That is 51" tall and 21" wide. :wink:
I wonder why... :lol:
I live near Tampere, in south Finland.
I don't know truck prices, I did't listen them. Few years ago Sisu A-45 where 2500-3200 euros, and Kraz about 2500 euros.
More pictures about sales...
Sometimes in army sales, there is a Tatra tyres, Barum 15.00-21. But finland is bit far away to you. 21 inch tyres are rare other than eastern block coutries.
Last autum I trade four Sisu tires to "Ural-nose". Two guys had cut it, and they made a farm tractor trailer on it. This is usuall in finland.
I pull the engine off, and sold it away. V8 did run smoodly, I test it.
I take these pictures to mobile phone.
