Re: Old Armstrong type tires - Still available?

My '72 had 2 Power kings & 2 CO-OP's, 9.50 x 16.5 when I first met up with it. The power kings really sang on the highway. Good bite too but didn't last as long as the CO-OP. All 4 were CO-OP when I bought it. I got tired of packratting them, so I let a buddy run them off on his trailer a few years ago. The load capacity was crazy on them things compared to today's "E" radials- not by the ratings, but in real use.
