What do i do with these NOS tires?

[IngoMike]

I use JD Ultra Guard on everything made of rubber and it works very well!

Most nos Lightning Darts are from the 80’s, think they stopped making them in 89 so not as old as most think so the construction is better than most vintage tires.

Not repops, original tires were made till the late 80’s, was the go to tire for everyone back then and even came on some new beach cruisers, many of us stocked up when they announced the move to manufacture in china ( they were never the same! ), I still have some nos, even all white, I think most were sold in the 70-80’s as they were some of the last USA made tires and looked old school, they are dated but think it’s 10 yr intervals so hard to tell, maybe someone here can chime in as when they started making them?
