These Goodyear All Weather tires came with a bike I bought. The tires had no air but weren’t cracked because the tubes were extra heavy duty and kept the tires up. The tires had a raised ridge so I used red and white tire paint to highlight things.

According to the great people here on this amazing site, these are likely off a 1933 Schwinn badged "Cadillac" by Chicago Cycle Supply Company B310E with accessories missing.

"ChiCyCo" brand tires had absolutely no connection to a 1933 Schwinn or model B10E or "Cadillac" badging. "ChiCyCo" tires were simply a proprietary brand of wholesale-distributor, Chicago Cycle Supply Company (thus the acronym). These tires could have ended up on just about anything since they were not a factory install– they were a W-D install. And one could simply buy them "over-the-counter" as well.

Any dealer serviced by W-D Chicago Cycle Supply Company (and there were hundreds of them) could order and sell these tires to anyone who walked in the door. No connection with Schwinn or Cadillac branded bicycles at all.

As for the zig-zag tread tire shown here... this tread was normally on postwar Sears Allstate tires... for many, many years... 1940s through the 1960s.

One tire was ChiCyCo, the other is a. Allstate balloon tire. I'll have to confirm front and rear. I'm curious see which is where. I believe the Allstate was slightly different in size. I will post my conclusions

Would you be interested in viewing some photos of the bike? I would appreciate your opinion and any knowledge that you would share with me. Thank you for your information. I was aware the Allstate was not original, but hoping the ChiCyCo was at the least comparable to the original. Thank you.

Both should be 26 x 2.125. Balloon is balloon.

Yes, I agree with you on the tires. Thank you. Here's some pictures of the bike itself. Appears just a few stampings. Maybe BB been repaired and welded, ground smooth. The cranks cone nut is horribly cross threaded, and appears one crank arm has been braze repaired with brass. To suggest prior damages and repair potential to the bb area
