Default Re: Risk of using old (over 10 years) tires

In the early 80s we got a 46 ton and half truck, it had original tires on it, bald to the cord, went to the local recapper, he took a look at the tires, saw "s4"-- nylon cord, said no problem, full core values, they got recapped and sold, after using the truck for 10 years we sold it to a guy moving a airplane coast to coast, he made it in 4 days, I don't think he drove slow

So it would be interesting to know--- were they tubeless mounted on original rims???
