Road Hog was the own brand for Just Tyres (when they were part of Southam Tyres) going back 12+ years ago when i was tyre fitting for them, and they were a good tyre, but the company wasnt good to work for.

sounds like after being taking over by Micheldever the brand might have been drop about 2004 as mentioned in the following link near the bottom of the page

might be worth emailing then to see if they know of a UK dealer and if they still do 10's

i have actually got two on the rear of my clubby estate, Roadhog R810 145 10's, put on from my stack of old mini rims

as said, they're old tyres, i've got an old magazine from the 1970 british motor show and the tyres are advertised in there.

try some of these vintage tyre places, they'll reproduce old styles and you might just find an alternative you prefer
