They were a popular economy tire back in the early years as stated above. I always say They wear like iron, but drive like hell compared to Firestone or Goodyears .

You do have to realize they dry rot too and the are probably 40-50 years old at this point. Would you put 50 year old tires on your other cars? The treads do separate and come loose on them.
Have to say pretty incredible that they have lasted as long as they have. To bad other stuff today typically doesn’t. Happy Model A Motoring ! Get the A out this weekend. A few of our 160-B tour photos…
