Re: Old Armstrong type tires - Still available?

You could do that and keep looking until that special day you find what you`re looking for and have a satisfied mind.Did you look into Armstrong`s existence/product line?Basically,all mud & snows were simular up into the RV(offroad)crazy hit the bigtime in the`70s.Not sure if the bias-plys are still made.That`s where the tread patterns changed.I always liked the 9.00x16s on a truck for a stock,yet beefy look.Alot of fire depts ran them and they fit.I about crapped when I saw those Goodyears laying in that trucks bed.The problem was,it was out at a state road and you accessed the houses from another state road and it was back a lane that I wasn`t sure where it began.It looked like someone else`s lane,but I guess that was how to get there.The truck wasn`t moving too fast @ $7,500.I saw it pulled back.This makes me want to ride over that way again just to have a look see.
