Anyone familiar with this type of Mitsuboshi tyre?

(1/1)

hotdog:
I'm looking for one of these tyres in a 26". It's a Silver Star Mitsuboshi but that's about all I know. Any clues as to the year of manufacture?
Cheers,Tim

MartyC:
Hey Tim, looks like the tyres they put on the beach cruiser style bikes that were popular in the late 70's and early 80's (the ones that pre-dated proper cruisers iirc).  Do you have a pic of the logo?

hotdog:
There is no logo,Marty. Just the embossed Mitsuboshi Silver Star name and size of tyre. I thought they were early too. I wonder how hard they are to source?

MartyC:
Tim, it's a Mistsuboshi Bruiser, late 70's early 80's.  I've not seen them for sale in recent years, maybe the US sites would be an option?
