Wards and Sears sold everything back in the day. Used to get tires at Wards. My Ted Williams Model 100 was a big purchase for me at Sears. And plinking ammo. I miss Sears and Wards, Western Auto, Coast to Coast. Different times nowadays.

Sears sold Michelin tires under their brand. I ran them on my 72 Cheyenne for years. We bought a lot of goods from sears over the years.

I read somewhere that in the 1960's Sears had the same market share that Amazon has now.

Put a set of Sears 235-75 "RoadHandler" tires on an 81 C10 Silverado I had back then. I remember them looking good and having a smooth ride.
