Application
Standard size for WWII military jeeps and post-war civilian models with 16" rims. Suitable for vehicles from the '40s, '50s and early '60s. Fits original 16" combat wheels (split-rim) and 16" civilian rims (drop-centre). Recommended rim width: 4.0" to 4.5".
Installation notes
This tyre requires an inner tube (600 x 16). For combat wheels: use inner tube with angled valve and offset for correct fit in the valve hole. Mounted tyre diameter: approximately 28-29 inches. Recommended tyre pressure: 20-30 psi for off-road use, up to 45 psi maximum for road use.
Compatibility
NDT tread offers limited grip on wet roads and in corners compared to modern tyres — suitable for shows, parades and recreational use, less suitable for daily transport in wet conditions. For improved wet-road grip: consider NDCC (Non-Directional Cross-Country) variant with angled tread blocks.
Historical context
During WWII, Goodyear supplied large quantities of 600 x 16 NDT tyres to the U.S. Army for the Willys MB, Ford GPW and other light military vehicles. The NDT tread was designed for versatility on both paved roads and off-road terrain, with minimal lateral movement — crucial for military operations in varying conditions.
