50 - 60 year old Dunlop tire
Here's a peek at the cord inside

Got those old tire blues
Got those old tire blues

I deflated it to save it
Vintage size with steel stem
I've actually got hundreds of miles outta this tire
and continue to use the rest of them
(They are NLA)

Got those old tire blues
Got those old tire blues

I knew it was cracked
but I didn't see the canyon living in there...
