Title: Knobby Tyres - Are these Re-Issue or the real deal?
Post by: Redline on October 07, 2013, 09:33 PM: http://www.ebay.com/itm/KENDA-BMX-old-school-MX-style-KNOBBY-20-x-1-75-20-x-2-125-tire-set-blackwall-/121184094634?pt=US_Tires&hash=item1c372289aa

Lookin for all black knobby tyres for a 79 build... are these re-issue or og from the 70's / early 80's?

I've seen Carlisle Aggressor MX200 ties now and again but they seem very pricey. What other all black brands were used in 79 guys?

Cheers

John

Isn't 1 and 3/4 the same as 1.75?
0.75 of a meat pie is 3 quarters of a meat pie
