Old but unused? redline bias-ply tires?
Friend ran across some NOS stuff being sold. Among the finds are some Uniroyal ? Redline tires. Presumably bias ply relics from the late 60's.
Is there a market for these- COPO undriven trailer queens maybe?

How many did he get? Yes I agree with the trailer queen idea, but he may also be able to sell them for spare tires in car shows. I've got what I believe to be the original wide oval spare in my 1970 that I plan to use in car shows but not carry when I'm driving the car on a daily basis. John

You guys worry about tires because they're old. I had a set of those Uniroyal Kitty Paws back in the day when they were new and they were crap then. Had a flat on one and we dug a twig out of the puncture hole. Had another one throw a tread off the right front at 70mph. Glad I had steel inner fenders because it would have shredded a plastic one.
