Re: Another Tire Thread
The grooved front runners are used on circle track vintage sprint cars and as I said some guys like them for their old style hot rods to give it a dirt track roadster look. They aren't tires you run on a truck by any stretch of the immigration. The military tread tires are a to each his own thing. Back years a go a lot of guys bought them from Army surplus and used them on their rigs so in that essence they would be authentic for what you want. A bit rat roddy by today's standards as they seem to favor military tread tires for some reason but authentic in that in the 50's and 60's farmers actually did run them on their trucks as they got them dirt cheap. Most farm guys would have run a set of street treads on the front and a set of "grips" (I'm married to a Texas Gal and Lived in McGregor for a number of years) on the back.
