While Doonican was everything expected of him, for us, at any rate, Oversize Tyre the surprise of the show was Irish comedian Bal Moane. His act was really hilarious. Dunlop-Reliance staff at New Ply mouth had their work cut out recently changing the tyres on the log loader at Port Taranaki. The tyres that the loader takes are the , third largest that are made in New Zealand, size 26-5 x 52, and tube- less to boot. This is the first time in 11 years that the tyres on the loader have been off and it took over 2 hours to change each tyre. The tyres are priced at $900 each, plus tax, and ••••• • each hub with tyre attached weighs 2 tons! Quite a weighty job.
