    Got my hands on a set of new 6-70 15 Mile-pak tires the other day From a Guy who said that they were hung up in his Grandfathers Shed for as long as he could remember Some 30 Plus years.Still have the stickers on them.I was thinking they would be nice on the front of my Hillman G***er project. I would have to run Tubs with them,This a good idea?.I never heard of these tire before,Says on them they were made in Canada,What can you tell me about the Mile-Pak tires??

    Doesn't ring any bells. Do they have nylon belts? One cold day starting out with nylon-belted tires would be enough to make some folks take them off and hang 'em in the shed. The damn things would flat-spot when sitting, and shake your bones until the tires warmed up.
     
  3. I know I wouldn't use them on the street if they are that old.
