Thank you. Those tick the box but does anyone know a less expensive alternative? Any other tire in USA 7.5x16?

I think they used to sell these Goodyear tires long ago in USA but don't know if there are still available today. I think there might some available in ebay. These are Goodyear extra grip hi miler tire, they are cheaper than Michellin tires but very noisy on road, great in mud tracks.
I'm using these tires 75x16 for my series III but I lived in Indonesia.

While those "original" tires look cool, they pretty much suck. Since they're bia ply they are stiff and squirrely. A very good modern equivalent is a Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac (https://www.goodyear.com/en-US/tires/wrangler-duratrac?cta=BBCardTireImage). 235-85-R16 is very close to the 7.50x16 size. Tread is pretty aggressive and does well in all conditions. Highly rated.
Deestone carries a tire which looks and performs like they are for a garden tractor.https://simpletire.com/deestone-7.5-r16-ds1256-tires

These are available in 6.50 and 7.50 x 16. about $130
They look quite similar to the tires fitted to Series One's and early 2's in the UK.

Specialty tires of america. The A tread is the same as GoodYear xtra grip high miler, available in 7.5x16 and 7x15. They also make 9.0x16 super lugs, which I'm putting on my series 3 on Wolfs. http://www.stausaonline.com/tires/sta-super-traxion/
