Back in the day when "Service Stations" were just that, (circa Mid '50s) while on a trip in my AA 280A, I stopped at a station to gas up. The attendant looked at my rig (only ~25 years old at the time) and said that he thought he had a tire that would fit my truck (650x20). He proceeded to go back into his store room, dug thru a bunch of tires and pulled out a brand new, never been mounted 650x20 and just gave it to me.
