Stormin 4,458 #1 Posted March 12, 2018 The rear tyres on the Sears/Roper where getting a little past their sell by date. A bit worn and cracking. Well they have been on there for 40 years. So I treated it to a pair of new boots. Deestone 23 x 10-50 x 12. That's better. Now all I have to do is find some suitable for the front. Maybe 5 rib or some sort of block pattern? 7 pmackellow, 4x4forks, Alan and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alan 1,273 #3 Posted March 12, 2018 Looks good Norm. Something I intended to do, one day. Did you find out why the old valves were jammed hard against the rims. ? My guess was the tubes stuck themselves to the rims due to being flat for so many years. Couldn't move them without taking the old tires off. Held air OK though. 1 Stormin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #4 Posted March 12, 2018 I didn't change them, Alan. Dropped them off at ATS. For a tenner a wheel, it's not worth the struggle with levers and mallets. 1 Alan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
