Denman Tire Company is Out of Business

[DaveVA78Chieftain]

Just wanted to pass on the news that Denman tire company is no longer in business.  All equipment and information rights were auctioned off to a overseas company.  No more bias ply tire mfgs are left.  Additionally, 8R17.5 radials are getting in very short supply.  While the M300 chassis appears that it can use a 16.5" rim/tire we need to find an alternative such as a 8R19.5 solution for the M400/M500 chassis.  They have the larger dual piston front disc caliper which the 16.5 rim will not fit over.  M300 has the smaller single piston disc caliper.
