Found a nice pair of Mickey Thompson Indy Profiles in an H50/15 sizing. One has slight use on it while the other is NOS condition with all the original nubs on it. No dry checking or tire rot and great for static display with the tires going onto some Torque Thrusts.

Back many, many years ago I worked for a friend in Akron who had a filing cabinet business. In the same storage building that he kept stuff was stacks and stacks and more stacks of Mickey Thompson tires. The company's offices were also on the same property. Had them on my 67 SS Chevelle!.......Bill S

They are cool tires...but mounted these today and bummed to find one was punctured on the sidewall. Thankfully it wasn't the NOS tire, but leaves me on the hunt for another H50/15 MT tire if anybody ever sees a straggler out there?

Why don't you patch the side wall and put a tube in it? It is still use able that way.

That's an option I am looking at.

My friend that was over last night is looking to see if he has a tube that will fit and said the same things you did. Now to see if I can find a small tube that works for the low profile and has the valve stem in the center location rather than offset to the outside.

If you can not find one let me know, My local mechanic shop does a pretty good job finding parts for me.

I saw these on craigslist today. Looks like the Mickey Thompson tread pattern. https://bloomington.craigslist.org/p...594419754.html

Those are Kelly Super Chargers. Tread pattern differs a lot from the MT and is more like the old Firestone S/S.

Sorry, I actually meant it looks like the pattern on the MT Pro Street tires, not the smaller tires. I guess McCreary or someone else used that tread pattern before the MT Pro Street tires came along.
