Going through a few old 26 x 1 3/8 wheels. gonna try to get a few wheelsets together for a couple of projects. I also have a pile of used tires. IDK how old they are but say 1960's - 1970's vintage so only 50 - 60 years old!
They are mostly gumwalls, one set has cracks in the tread when you pinch them so i think the are toast.
All the others seem sound except for cracking gum walls. I've thrown away a lot of old bike tires that were rotten but these are not and even have nice tread. Maybe these tires came off of bikes hanging upside down in garages?
