I don't (in a quick look, I admit) see anywhere that it's on 20" (and thus
non-standard) wheels - we know just by looking at it but others might not.

Once, when the secrets of science were the jealously guarded property of
a small priesthood, the common man had no hope of mastering their arcane
complexities. Years of study in musty classrooms were prerequisite to
obtaining even a dim, incoherent knowledge of science.
Today, all that has changed: a dim, incoherent knowledge of science is
available to anyone.   - Tom Weller, Science Made Stupid, 1986

Oops, you're quite right.  Rectified.

Any particular reason for the change of wheels, just out of interest?

They were on there when I got it.  But the large wheels & tyres give you
extra ground clearance and make it easier to roll over things.  
Personally I think they're a pretty good size for a 101.  The clearance
on it is great.

Ah, the best reason in the world ;-)

Indeed, I was thinking about tyre availability out in the arse of
nowhere.  Wasn't sure if that size was more popular or something.

I'd guess that 20" tyres are about as easy to get hold of as
9.00x16's?
They are unimog wheels on Dave's 101 (and on lots of other 101's),
There are more unimogs around than 101's so they should be easier to
get...

20" are (used to be) standard on almost all the lorries.  more modern ones
have gone over to 22.5" but there must still be millions of 20" ones out
there - the 9.00x20 sort of size tyre was fitted mostly to light weight
ones, the sort of wagon that's about 12 tons gross on 2 axles.

I assume 'mogs are still on 20", but I've not checked on a new one.

paid attention ;)
