Pirelli sold off the Armstrong Agriculture tire business in 1994 to concentrate on it's car/truck business. In November 1997 they dropped Armstong from Pirelli Armstrong Tire and became the Pirelli Tire Company. Pirelli might very well still have all the old Armstrong molds. I haven't found anything that says they were sold. As the original post mentioned, he would like something as near original as he might find. This is a very tough task. I did find that Denman Tire still makes light truck tires in a 7.50-16 size.
