I think I found a bunch of possibly NOS 300 16 tires. Guy says they are still in the packaging! Anyone interested? I could pick up the whole lot.

If the tires are truly old, they'll also be hard just from age. Might be good for people seeking museum accuracy, but they probably wouldn't have the grip of newer rubber.

I have a friend running around on his 1952 BSA 350... with a 40 year old rear tire.
Astonishingly, no cracks and still supple... but I wouldn't be jumping to use it!
