A good wrap of duct tape should see those tyres good for a few thousand more miles.

I was thinking more along the lines of the 35 year black caulk for that baby!
whatever you do, dont go for the 25 year stuff, it's too runny................

A Model A once limped into Chiefs' Fillin' Station, with strips of canvas around the tire & through the spokes, to hold on a loose piece of tread! That was during WW-II.

If I didn't see the Firestone flag, I'd say that could be a Goodyear Regatta tire, the worst tire ever made.
