Pretty sure the first Knobby's didn't say Schwinn StingRay!

Do you have any documentation on this? Do you have guesses why there are Stingray labeled tires from 1962 then?

Where are the '62 tires? There was no Stingray in '62

Hi Justyne
Your tire is dated 4Q63

This Stingray Knobby was first issued 4Q63 and used on Stingray bikes through the end of 64

This is one rare and desirable tire! If I hadn't spent all my play money on your whitewall and the Fastback pair moments ago, I'd buy this one too!

@60sstuff and @Lalo - this tire seems right up your alley my friends!

It's 4Q63 and that's when this tire was first produced and used on Stingrays. Prior to that from the introduction in May, there were a number of balloon style tires used from various brands. I think I probably have one of each by now on my 63 collection or in my stash

It's rare indeed, and wow after I checked the chart again I did read that chart wrong huh. 63 it is!
