Pretty wild tread on it too. It must be an early all season tire. LOL

Looks like it's a cross between a car and a truck tire...

Made in Canada and could be an early uni-directional. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

A display item or salesman's sample perhaps?.

I remember these tires. More than one manufacturer made these things for a short time. Yes, they were in fact marketed as an "All Season" item. The aggressive tread for tough conditions and the smooth, highway tread for extended wear and quiet running.
They held up as well as a campaign promise.

I like it, mount it on a rim dog dish it and set it in the corner, or in the trunk and watch people do a double take when they spot it.

I have been looking for this exact tire since I first pulled an old rotted one out of a Chevelles trunk at Victory Auto Wreckers in the summer of 1978.I've never seen another after that,nor anyone even mention it anywhere or inquire about one,and thought I never would so I wrote it off as just a blurred memory.
This will fit really nice in an original 1970 Sunoco service station tire stand that I bought.
I appreciate the heads up & want to personally Thank <u>You Tony</u> for bringing it to the attention of this website.
Thanks.. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif
