Mine was still in good shape as far as tread depth and rather than let it sit around and dry rot I sold it for a static bike.

Where did you get it? That looks like a better rear tread than mine.

Off Ebay....I'll have to look up the seller. I went ahead and bought two while the getting was good. Boy were those old Nitto's hard to remove from the rims.

Very tempting!!!!! The correct size/tread pattern is very hard to find.

This quote from the seller makes me wonder just how old these are.....

"This tire is new old stock and may show some signs of age."

The tires as arrived are very supple and show absolutely no sign of dry rot. They were somewhat misshaped from obviously long term stacking, but that is no big deal once mounted/inflated. Seller "told" me they were around 5 years old. They were wrapped in original tire tape and are 4 ply.

Yeah, my rear was so bad that I just cut it off.
