Default Re: will these tires work for my day 2 project?

John
They look good, tread wear is even on both tires and the price is right. I would snag them for the $100 BIN.

Soft compound S/S is a mid 80's to current feature on M/T tires...S/S was not around in the 1970's.

That being said the tread/look etc is identical to the 1970's regular bias ply tire. Most people would not know anyway. I would put the white letters inside and/or paint them if you want to be more correct.

I also have a feeling the old style bias is going to come out again. M/T discontinue these tires and then bring them out again every so often. They have done this for the last 25 years.Almost as if they run a huge batch and then let them run out and repeat.
