Thank you for the quick response. I am leaning toward this type of install - the clear silicone being the key. The new tires are great and now we are after that special finishing touch!

Stay warm Cape Codder.

Be well -

There were balancing marks on tires back then that were used for placing the tire in relation to the stem

Further homework on the rim/tire location situation. While at the Turlock Swap Meet, I checked an older MAFCA book on judging standards. It was not specific as to location of valve, brand names, logos - etc.

The specifics came from size, rim construction, tube type etc. Wondering if the current standards are more specific?

BTW - the new tires look great and really beef up the suspension. Thank you Harvey Firestone!

Be well -

Chris

I'd run Firestones if today's looked like that. Nice looking tire.
