What happened to old school tires?

[RebelRider]

I tried to sell a set of Coop Spur Grips in great condition at OCBR last year and did not even get an offer on them! Nothing digs like those spur grips IMO. I like them too, not good for rocks and what not, but they get some traction in the mud. Mine are smaller 15" tires, like 700 or 750-15 or something like that, but no one was interested in them at OCBR. I guess every one wants fancy white letters and what not on their tires now...

Do you still have em??;D

Ha Co-op grip spurs! I got 9.00x16 on mine. Don't see them anymore. I run a farm supply and used to sell these tires like crazy. They are moving the molds to these tires and it takes a while to get up and running. I am told that the gateway buckshot is being made in a few sizes, but not selling again just yet.. As for the co-op grip spur, I haven't heard a word yet..

Not in my neck of the woods...went to a local co-op and they claimed they wasnt made anymore (which i didnt believe) then went to another one and they still had em on the computer but they couldnt get em either. It may just be they aint gonna get em for just one customer.

While we are talking about vintage tires, anybody got a set of 17x40 Dick Cepek Fun Country's. Need some for a retro project.

I got a new set of Q buckshots on my 76 last fall. My tire man said that they have not built any lately but are supposed to be available again soon.

Nyles, I run a coop... They (grip spurs) are not being made... They are/were made in only 4 sizes. L78x15, 7.00x15, 7.50x16, and 9.00x16. You may find used ones. I bought two new 9.00x16 around last sept and had alot of trouble finding them..

I miss the old school 4 Wheel RVT's, Tread was like the Ground Hawgs, the rubber was harder and the road wear was great.
