Balloon Tires!

[Freqman1]

Here are a few sets of tires you don't see too often. First up an NOS set of pre war 'checker board' Chain Treads

Next is a set of pre war US Royal Centipede Grips which were used on quite a few high end bikes including Autocycles

Last is a pair (but not matched) set of post war Firestone High Speeds. Notice the word "NYLON" is different on each tire.

Those are the best set of checkerboard chain treads I've seen in a long, long time. I wish I had a pair.

The checkerboard tires are great. Can I get a reproduction pair too.
