Vintage/Old School Tires

[KS.76Sport]

I love it. They look awesome. You inspired me to go back to the stock look as well. Mine is cut but I think it will still look cool. I can always switch back I love new tires.

Thanks, Im really dig'n em so far. I still have the chrome center caps to put on which I think will set the wheels off even more.

I think it would look just fine. IMO its what you think is cool that matters, so go with what you want.

I just wish I had the dough for both a stocker and a wheeler. Maybe someday....powerball is 160mil.

Atom0023, you didn't need new tires, you needed a new floorboard! Ha! Sorry couldn't resist.

i saw a brand new set of buckshots at a buddys, they run them on a mudtruck. heard they were not making them anymore. they used to run them once a year and then when inventory was sold, you had to wait till next year.
i will call gateway next week and find out.

Back in about 1977 I replaced a set of 10 ply truck tires on a 1966 non-power steering truck with 11.00/15 Tru Tracks. It drove like it had power steering and they howled like a cat when you lit them up.
In 1971 I had a set of H 78/15's Armstrong Norseman on a 62 Scout. I don't know if it was the Scout or the tire ,but it was hard to get it stuck. I spent a lot of time pulling out friends and never had to get their help.

I have one original tire/wheel off a 1969. I will have to check and see what brand tire is on the rim. It looks like it was never used if I remember right?

My brother had a set of those on one his trucks, they like to beat us to death on those cold morning hunts(till they warmed up) but we never got stuck.

Yeah they are stiff for sure being bias ply. I haven't had them out in the field yet, good to hear you guys stayed up. Time will tell but shes not quite ready for playin around out in the mud and dirt just yet, maybe this coming summer I hope.
