Thanks for the input Peter

I have to admit tires for some vintage types area problem.
Myself, I own a 1940 Fleet Finch that uses 8.50x 10 tires.
To find them in a round shoulder profile has always been a problem.
I had a set that though 60 yrs old were in excellent shape.
Took them to my local Race car tire expert and he stated that if they are stored properly, tires don’t really have a shelf life.
That said, I installed them on the a/c and got about 1 1/2 yrs out of them before they started to develope large cracks.
I have since been able to find a small family a/c tire company in the U.S. that will make my tires complete with the smooth no tread face.

As for the tire on my Vamp wheel, it “looks” perfect and appears to have never been used but from the above experience not to mention using it on a high speed a/c , I suspect it would be iffy to use it.
