New S-7 Brick Tires By An Old Manufacturer?

-
I have another make 26 X 2 X 1-3/4,the 2" spec makes them noticeably wider than a standard Westwind or other knock off
 
Ya Kenda and maybe Duro has made the 2.0's but not in the Schwinn style brick tread that I know of.
 
These new brick treads are considerably bigger than the other Kenda's that are 26 x 2 x 1 3/4". Those are the ones I'm replacing and those are almost identical in size to the Westwind repops.

The only other S-7 tire is the CS and these new bricks look better and are most likely larger without being squared off with the thick truck tread. I'll have to get one out and compare the two.

I found this and Duro and Fong are related. F&R is on these tires, so Fong and ?

HMM,I'll have to take a look @ mine. They are not the brick pattern and much wider than a Westwind. Those brick pattern 2"ers are cool,They look just like a balloon Typhoon Cord

As of today I've found these tires being sold by three different eBay sellers. Two in Cali and one in Indiana.

Got one mounted on a rim and I have to say these are some badass S-7 Brick tread tires! They look like 2.25 Typhoons on a skinny rim. They look great and they're not as squared off or blocky as the CS Goodyear treads. These will now be my replacements.

Compared here to a 26 x 1 3/4 Schwinn sold and labeled replacement that's the same as the Kenda 26 x 1 3/4. The overall dia. is 26 3/8" and they blow out past the side of the rim almost 3/8"
