does anyone know of a source for some tires for us? We're running low and need to do a replacement soon. We also have lots of cores, so info about who recaps would also be great.

Thanks!

I was told 46X16 is made in the Same mold as the 15.50-20. The 46x16 has aply of about 22 plies. Probably won't work.

Wilkerson Tire in Crewe, Virginia do the recaps on the 47"SC tires used for the B-25. We tend to get a lot better life out of the recap tires, so if you have a lot of cores, that may be the way to go if they can do them.
